JEFF SKINNER - Left Winger - 26 - $9MM Cap Hit - UFA in 2027-2028
LAST UPDATED 6/28/19
Skinner's career has been marred by large amounts of inconsistency, but he chose to get hot at the right time, and played his one season in Buffalo into a MASSIVE free agent contract. A skilled, good-skating winger, Skinner has a natural goal-scorer's touch and has shown the ability to score as many as 40 goals. Skinner, though, is prone to fluctuations in his shooting percentage, causing his goal totals to sometimes crash year-to-year. This makes Skinner incredibly unpredictable, but he'll always give at least 20 goals and 40 points. He's just too skilled not to. He's smart, and has the skating ability to create space for himself to get open for shots or to create plays for his linemates. The Sabres hope that the chemistry he had with Jack Eichel is here to stay, and Skinner can be the 35 goal, 65 point 1st line sniper he was in his one season in Buffalo, because they're certainly paying him to be that.
