I'd like to see Kruger figure out a way to get Skinner and Eichel back together on a line. Skinner with other dudes obviously isn't working out. Olofsson is showing that he can drive the play on his own - maybe put him on line #2 and see how it goes for a while. The secondary scoring can't get any worse than it is now.
There, I fixed it. Season saved.
The Sabres gave Skinner a ton of $ and he needs to find his game. He directly benefits from playing on a different line behind Jack. He draws easier defensive match ups and has had ample opportunity to score goals this season- his lack of production can only be laid at the diminutive feet of #53. Eichel is a better player away from Skinner. Oloffsson is a vastly superior winger to complement Jack's skill set. He often gets Jack the puck in scoring areas and buries his chances when they come- Skinner is a one way street, pass him the puck and he shoots it- not much of a play maker. I am afraid that in time we will look at the Skinner signing as a mistake.
