The 6' 200 pound winger, was a 1st round draft pick in 2010, 7th overall. He followed up his 35-goal, 82-point season in 2023, with a 46-point season, scoring 24 goals.
He is a consistent goal scorer, scoring 24, 35, and 33 goal seasons, on a rebuilding Buffalo team. He could also provide veteran leadership, and give the offense a boost as well.
It's an unexpected move from the Buffalo Sabres, as he is a productive forward, but they have to buy out Skinner's $10 Million AAV contract to free up cap space.
