Penguins coach Dan Muse shared a candid assessment of Stuart Skinner after the blockbuster trade with the Edmonton Oilers, shedding light on Pittsburgh’s goaltending outlook and short-term plans.

Skinner, who can become an unrestricted free agent after this season, is expected to join a tandem with Arturs Silovs, who is 4-4-5 with a 2.98 GAA and .897 save percentage after being acquired in a trade from the Vancouver Canucks on July 13.

In an attempt to solve their goaltending woes, the Edmonton Oilers acquired Tristan Jarry from the Pittsburgh Penguins Friday while sending the much-maligned Stuart Skinner the other way. Edmonton needed to make a move in goal, but is Jarry really the answer?

A simple goalie hug sparked wild trade rumors, but Stuart Skinner found the speculation hilarious, revealing the real reason behind the extra long embrace.
