You’re right, Skinner can generate a lot of scoring chances for himself while suffocating the offence of others.

The only ones that matter are the ones that go in the net.

Finisher.
Sabres need more, too bad the Log line with 99.99% CF couldn't hit the end boards let alone the net.

Corey Davis was on the bench for most of the 4th quarter


If the bills cut brown this offseason, he would be an interesting addition

Id love to see the proof of this

And before you point out Eichel’s shooting %, we’ve gone over this numerous times that Eichel was getting almost the same amount of shots but was leading the league in posts hit.

The argument Skinner is somehow a bad player is a bad argument. It doesn’t exist. He’s undeniably really good

Because the friggin Coach has virtually sidelined a $9m, 40G player. To do what exactly? Become a Cf 55%, +7 player with 15G's...it is truly mind boggling

Probably krueger's fault, the player has very little to do with actually scoring goals 🙄

It’s yearly tradition for Evander Kane to make the news for some reason

2021- defaulting on millions in bank loans.

So glad we moved on from him still

59 game season.

Would = 19 goals in 82 games, all of them at 5 on 5, which would be top 25 in the league

He had a bad year with shooting %, and was still a good goal scorer, without PP time and with undisputed bad line mates.

His contract is bad.

There’s absolutely 0 argument for him being some sort of bad player

- sbroads24


22 games without a goal is definitely an argument waiting to happen.

Ror you hated , skimmer you just love?

I still think he was dinged up from the injury during that stretch, playing 10 minutes a night didn't help either


"Since the start of the 2010-11 season, Skinner ranks sixth in the NHL with 202 even-strength goals, trailing only Alex Ovechkin, Patrick Kane, John Tavares, Steven Stamkos and Brad Marchand."

Steelers right? Beat them already, we have the better qb.... lamar could single handedly beat us.

Who you thinking?

Man to see Trubisky take the ball and run on 4th and 4 and just run out of bounce 2 yards short with little effort makes me cringe....

Josh gets that first down or dies trying. First year or this year that has been very clear.

Seriously. The fact that he didn't even try to dive for it was brutal. Does he even want to win?

Jeff Skinner might be the Sammy Watkins of the Sabres, except less talented. Not buying into the system, not a team player so the Bills dealt him.

That was when the Bills were trying to get any talent they could but never built a team.

When McBean came they wanted to build a team that trusted the process.

bears gave up 2 thirds and a 4th to move up 1 pick to get trubisky


if someone else trades to 2, they get mahomes and we probably don't get white and allen


I am all for the bears screwing things up year after year

Were you focusing on ror's game prior to being a sabre when you called him " a decent player" a "fine player"?

Let's focus on the last 82 out of the 130ish.

Not worth anywhere near $9.

Olofsson is gonna be a huge contributor this season.
He played great last season as a rookie.
But, he's the new hunted

You are too biased because he took Sammy Skinners spot on that line.

player x is one of the best even strength goal scorers in the last decade


player y is a 1 trick pony, pp specialist
