We need Skinner, he's a good hockey player, but stop the guy has scored 26 goals in the last 82 games going back to last year, we all now he needs better players around him to do better. Anybody watching the games see's he gets scoring chances. Start burying some and people will stop talking, until then he deals with people talking about him, time for him to put on his Big Boy Pants.

I think we can all agree on the following:

Jeff Skinner is a great player
Jeff Skinner is effective off of the score sheet
Jeff Skinner needs to be on the score sheet more often, regardless of the contract he owns.

I’ll shake on that 🤝

Yes they could.
They completely revamped the PP structure and both Sam and Skinner got significantly less opportunities in the slot. Went to a bombs-away approach from Olo and Jack.

The Lightning use that same approach with Stammer, Hedman, and Kucherov at the top of the umbrella but that did not stop Brayden Point from cashing in on the PP.

THe guy they benched? Send them Bogo straight up

Thread killers

Who will dish out the first headshot?

its a good thought. but with Bogo being a pending UFA we may need to throw something like the rights to Karabacek to make it work

Not sure if Karabacek gets it done.

Might need to throw them an Artem Kruikov or a Barrett Heisten to sweeten the POT (that Darcy was obviously SMOKING when he drafted these winners).

Why play the rest of the season and just give Tampa the Cup.

If Jeff Skinner scores 26 EV goals over 82 games, draws a good amount of penalties that gives the team additional PP goals.... maybe gets 2-3 of his own on the PP, then he’s contributing to about 30+ Goals which is what he’s always done.

calculated risk, as Kucherov is boom or bust. Banking on Sobotka staying on IR to make this trade remotely fair.

You know boards, keep making excuses for him, he hasn't scored any power play goals, he actually has taken a bunch of stupid penalties lately, you have your say and I have mine and mine is he hasn't been good enough, I am done talking about it.

Yep, and assuming you watch them, they are always passing down low on either side of the net to setup slot plays.
The Sabres do not...
Dahlin to Jack to Dahlin to Olofsson, shot.

There is only one Larson. You can’t have a Lockport line with out Swedish Lockport. So skinner has now been downgraded to erod as his center. Go. Get. A. Center!
