The Skinner contract is certainly amongst the worst in the NHL at a time when we could ill afford another such mistake. At $9 million he needs to be putting up 30 plus goals a year at minimum. He's on pace for about 15 this year at best. Crippling. Too early to be bought out. The best we can hope for is a new coach get's him to at least respectable numbers. This team would make for an epic study in how to consistently be horrible at unprecedented lengths in a era when an expansion team can make the finals when properly run.
