Curt Posted August 10, 2019 Report Posted August 10, 2019 1 hour ago, Neo said: 200 goals .... Over / Under? Over.......201. I think it mostly will depend on health, but 200 is probably just about the right spot to set that. Quote
Neo Posted August 11, 2019 Report Posted August 11, 2019 Jeff Skinner and the evolution of my view ... Early on, he was a talent, a diver, and, no disrespect to him, a concussion susceptible risk.

Radar Posted August 11, 2019 Report Posted August 11, 2019 Skinner's contract like it or not is the going rate. Salaries are what they are. We used to complain we had cheap owners and couldn't compete with teams. Now we complain that we're spending too much. Quote

I dunno, he's the same guy he was in Carolina. The only difference is he's scoring goals for us instead of against us. I'll continue to cheer every goal he scores, but I don't think he's a fundamentally different player. 32 minutes ago, Radar said: Skinner's contract like it or not is the going rate.

Well, I'd amend this slightly to say his contract is the going rate for what he gave us last season. It's an overpay if he reverts to his Carolina days and only delivers two 30-goal seasons. 1 Quote
Radar Posted August 11, 2019 Report Posted August 11, 2019 Jeff Skinner nine seasons 244 goals seems like average of 27.111 is pretty good and commands the type contract he signed for. Now, if you just don't like the player fine but that's his average goal output. Quote

I was a fan from a distance. It seemed like he always scored the backbreaker against us, glad to have him doing that for us. 1 Quote
