“Stuart Skinner may be headed back to Canada next season. The former Edmonton Oilers goalie is set to be one of the best free agent goalies available”
DISPUTED
The claim states Stuart Skinner is a 'former' Edmonton Oilers goalie. However, the evidence shows he is currently associated with the Oilers (facing a decision at the end of the season) or, according to the Wikipedia entry provided in the evidence, he is a goaltender for the Pittsburgh Penguins. Most importantly, the claim that he is a 'former' Oiler who 'may be headed back to Canada' is contradicted by the fact that Edmonton is in Canada; he cannot 'head back' to Canada if he is playing for a team in Edmonton, Alberta.
