In 2019/2020, Skinner plummeted to 14G, 9A, 23 points in 59 games for a .039 PPG. He followed that up with 7G, 7A, 14 points in 53 games for a terrible 0.26 PPG.
Buffalo paid a premium for the player they only had one season of history with - which is 1 more season than the Flames had with Huberdeau before handing out an 8 year deal at $10.5M AAV.
Buffalo had to change coaches to get Skinner back on track.

Hubby had a lifetime of production and has fell off about half his previous production.
Skinner had a few good years and still only had 63 points, which is hardly Hubby level production level.
