looking for some advice on whether I should be keeping Skinner as my “rookie” or be looking to draft one of the other available goalies in the draft. I also have Shesterkin, but I’m worried that Campbell is going to eat into Skinners starts this year and it’ll turn into a tandem. I like to run 2 workhorses so ideally I’m looking for a 2nd goalie with more volume.

Samsonov
Vanecek
Andersen
Demko
Jarry
Bobrovsky
Kuemper
Markstrom
Husso

are any of these guys worth drafting with our goalie categories compared to keeping Skinner?

Well I'd also want to know about who else you could keep as a rookie, because I sure do like the idea of being able to just keep Skinner and not have to worry about other goaltenders. I have Skinner in a similar tier to most of the names you listed.

Skinner is the only one on my roster that is under 83 career games played so he’d be the only one I could keep as a rookie. My other 5 main keepers are Mackinnon, B.Tkachuk, Pasta, JT Miller and Shesterkin. I do like the idea of going into the draft and focussing on drafting 10 players and not worrying about using a higher pick on a goalie

This is a no-brainer then. Keep Skinner as your rookie. If the value is there with one of the above goalies sliding (Husso is the only one of them NOT in my 2nd tier, he would not be a target for me) then you can make the plunge, but otherwise I'd just hammer your skater categories focusing on forwards who win faceoffs and rounding out your defense.

Under the circumstances you should keep Skinner

I’m not huge fan of skinner and I am worried Campbell will bounce back but giving circumstance I agree here….

Can you keep skinner and still draft volume G likeDemko? Or Sammy?

Your options are to keep Skinner as a rookie, or keep no rookie.

I don't think keeping no one will be a good idea. Did you post elsewhere already looking for advice? I think I answered one like this, or maybe lots of people with Skinner as rookie eligible. I mean I have him one dynasty roster as eligible to send down to minors for a bit, so happy about that for off days, but in reality his a main roster guy for me.
