Skinner has 1 point this season and is a -1, and is a healthy scratch.

Okposo has zero points and is a -4, and he has an A on his jersey and is a permanent fixture on the third line.

I'm sure that there is a reason for this, but I don't know enough Euro football psycho babble to explain it.

It’s probably less about making a point and more about Krueger believing he can actually “fix” Skinner this way. The intent is not something I take issue with as much as the execution - I think it’s more likely execution is the bane of Krueger’s existence as an NHL coach because, I can’t stress this enough - he’s never actually had success as an NHL coach. 

Occam’s Razor is...he just isn’t a good hockey strategist

Haven’t you seen The Dark Knight? People don’t panic when things are “all part of the plan”. 

They expected Okposo to suck. That he has a terrible contract is already commonly accepted. That was the standard they asked of the role he was assigned. Him sucking is all part of the plan.
