Doesn’t play a two way game, lack of effort defensively and doesn’t forecheck.
We have Bedard already to score points whilst not playing defense. Skinner may help us with some secondary scoring but he’s not going to help us win hockey games.
Hard pass.
Love the graphic lol! If we get him super cheap why not.
Defense is an issue it really would depend on price and term.
If he wants some money on a 1 or 2 year deal, y eah i’d take a 30 goal guy lol
I wouldn’t say no necessarily but I think there are better options available.
Yeah in a second dude can score
I like Skinner a lot more than Laine. Both are equally inept on defense, but Skinner generally plays more games every season and offers more in transition. The problem is that, like Laine, you can’t play him with Bedard since Skinner doesn’t play defense and Bedard isn’t good at defense, so it doesn’t solve the who plays with Bedard issue. He’d definitely add some much needed scoring to the second line. I’d take him on a contract similar to Foligno’s.
Short term deal like 2 years? YES! No risk. Any longer probably not
Sign me up for 2/$7M AAV, and put him on Bedard’s wing.
I wouldn’t complain if not was a 1-3 year, low cost deal.
I think he’d take very little to go to a contender though
If we end up missing out on necas and guentzel I wouldnt say no to skinner on a 1 or 2 year deal
He’s not signing with another non playoff team.
Absolutely if he wants a reasonable contract. Jeff Skinner is an excellent goalscorer to have your young guns take after.
I would definitely take him, but just like Tanev I can’t imagine him wanting to sign with us lol guy has never seen the playoffs – hard to imagine him settling for yet another bottom feeder
Hasn’t Jeff Skinner been through enough in his career?
I would only sign him if he promises to steam hams for everyone on the team.
