For as much as you want everyone to stop blaming Skinner's scoring drought on his linemates, I'd like for you to consider the facts below and get off the "he ain't burying them" schtick.
The numbers below show that he is an up and down scorer year to year, that his shooting percentage is equally inconsistent year to year, but he has has performed this season the same as he has over the past 5 seasons..on average. Perhaps you would like to see him consistently be at his best scoring rate, which was last season with Top 5 Center Jack Eichel.
He has infact "burried" the shots he has taken this season just slightly better than his historic rate. This season 10.68% of the shots he has taken have resulted in goals...which is up over his 5 year average of 10.56% shots taken resulted in goals.
Here are the numbers for you...all 5v5 from Natural Stat Trick website... Season. Gm Shots Goals Shot % Shots/Gm
2019-2020. 39. 103. 11. 10.68%. 2.64
2018-2019. 82. 196. 27. 13.78%. 2.39
2017-2018. 82. 213. 18. 8.45%. 2.60
2016-2017. 79. 214. 27. 12.62%. 2.71
2015-2016. 82. 194. 20. 10.31% 2.37
2014-2015. 77. 179. 13. 7.26% 2.32 5-1/2 Years. 441. 1099. 116. 10.56% 2.49
The facts are the facts.
The issue you may have is comparing his production to last year when he buried a historically high rate of 13.78% ...30% higher than this year...I wonder if his linemates thus season aren't getting him the quality shots he had with Eichel? Gotta be. - IonSabres
JOSH ANDERSON, RW, BLUE JACKETS... anyone have any thoughts on him. It’s an interesting write up...
I also kick the tires on PULJUJARVI, why not. If it’s a buy low enough situation. We have one Fin that was disgruntled. Now he’s mainly gruntled and loves playing for Ralph.
and what about the Bracco kid that can’t crack the leafs lineup. He could slide into scoring position on the rw. I’m not sure how the makeup of that line would look with olo or skinner on the left.... ideally, what type of player fits best in that roll... Just for discussion....
Skinner. Jack. Samson
Olo. JPG. X...
I’ve locked Samson long term...
I’ve traded for JPG and resigned....
What type of rw fits at the x?
Bracco
Anderson
Disgruntled Fin

That's a good?, I actually might switch VO and Skinner. And as weird as it sounds for that 2nd line probably Anderson because It seemed like Skinner was working pretty good with Sobotka cause he worked the boards pretty well and fore checked. Anderson can do that pretty well.

And in typical hockey buzz fashion, I need to ask the follow up... but can anderson skate...
They say the best ability is availability... no love for the disgruntled Fin? I mean isn’t two Fins better than one?! Risto is happy now imagine if we find him his very own random bike rider!!!

Interesting, which guys from the list at RW would you prefer, from among:
MIKAEL GRANLUND, RW, PREDATORS, Age: 27, Cap hit: $5.75 million, Years left: UFA, G/A/Pts: 8/8/16, 0.40 PPG, TOI = 16:52
ONDREJ KASE, RW, DUCKS, Age: 24, Cap hit: $2.6 million, Years left: 1, G/A/Pts: 5/13/18, 0.43 PPG, TOI = 16:39
JOSH ANDERSON, RW, BLUE JACKETS, Age: 25, Cap hit: $1.85 million, Years left: RFA, G/A/Pts: 1/3/4, 0.15 PPG, TOI = 16:04
JESSE PULJUJARVI, RW, OILERS, Age: 21, Cap hit: RFA, Years left: RFA, G/A/Pts: playing in Finland = 15/18/33, 0.89 PPG, TOI = ?
KASPERI KAPANEN, RW, MAPLE LEAFS, Age: 23, Cap Hit: $3.2 million, Years Left: 2, G/A/Pts:
10/18/28, 0.58 PPG, TOI = 16:17
For me, I like the idea of Kappanen, but probably wouldn't happen unless TML feel they need a Miller/McCabe type Dman.
Next, I'd prefer Josh Anderson then probably Andrej Kase
