I remember watching the Blue/Gold scrimmage and thinking that Skinner was in for a bounce back year with the Buffalo Sabres.
I was wrong.
Total Season stats: 53 GP, 7 G, 7 A, 14 PTS
Age: 29
Contract Status: 6 years, 9 million AAV
There’s no denying that Skinner was asked to play in a role that he was not accustomed to under Ralph Krueger where he was relegated to the fourth line and asked to carry the offensive burden with teammates that were not up to the caliber of player Skinner has played with in the past which has seen a massive decline in some of his counting stats.
