The Sabres are stuck with his contract, so why not put him in a position to achieve the best level of success possible?

Because it's about the team and not about his GD inflated contract.

2019-20 season

Last year

Skinner 14 goals 9 assists in 59 games 10 million Jesus Christ!!!!!!

VO 20 goals 22 assists in 54 games 700+ grand Rookie year

Jesus Christ is right!!!

One got a ridiculous amount of PP time and played on Eichel's win the entire season.

The other has to play with Curtis Lazar and Johan Larsson. With no PP time.

Then stop pouting like a little cu** and score.

He should be able to score on a line with Eakin/Lazar as his Center and Cozens on the RW

Put up or shut up.

Kessel was on the Penguins third line and it worked out well for them.

Bad take Flacco.
Some guys are Finishers...guys who don't drive play themselves...they finish the set-ups of playmakers.
An NHL Coach must understand this and seek a way to coax 50 out of him, not play him on a checking line for Christ sakes.
My God, let's use useless Larry as our 2C because he can check, and let's take our 40 G winger and play him on line 4...he should be able to 12 there like the world's best player.

And one was essentially useless after 15 games when teams caught on that he was our PP focal point.

Olofsson was an absolute tire fire with Eichel last season 5 on 5

That line was all Eichel and Reinhart

One player was slightly worse defensively and markedly worse offensively, but he deserves top 6 time and being on a line with Eichel or the other? Makes sense.

Okay some predictions:

Olofsson is Ales Kotalik 2.0 and will take a step back this year

Tage Thompson will still suck

Eric Staal will look old and gassed even in a shortened season

Taylor Hall and Jack Eichel have problems by game 15

Skinner keeps his head down and manages to lead the team in goals while being buried in the bottom-6

Dahlin looks lost

Reinhart can't do anything away from Eichel

Ristolainen gonna Ristolainen

Hutton blows

Ullmark sucks

We finish bottom 5 again.

If he could produce on the PP, had hands and could pass, had a wicked shot and Jack wanted to play with him on the PP he would be in the #1 PP. Cause and affect.

For $9M a year he should dominate hockey games.

I could give a poop less who is Center is.

If that’s the case then we could have signed Duclair or Hoffman then if we needed a one dimensional goal scorer. And heck we would have gotten someone who can do something on the PP too

Olofsson is legit half the player Skinner is.

I forgot Jack Eichel was judge, jury and executioner, you've convinced me.

Tar and feather Skinner, put a sharp pole up his ass and parade him through town. Make sure he suffers.

Not true, but he makes a quarter of the money as Skinner. What a bargain.

And somehow worse defensively. Weird. I thought Skinner was the worst defensive player in the NHL?

The Ravens are nothing without Lamar. I think the Bills can put up more than 23 points against the Ravens and the Bills D is better than the Titans.

Comparing advanced stats of a player who was drafted 6th overall and in his 9th year to a 7th round pick in his 1st year. You guys are really dissing Skinner, now I'm getting pissed
