Hashtags and caps do not a solid post make, but you do you, Fitz
The situations:
--In nine seasons Skinner averages 30g/82 games for his career including 40 goals his first season in Buffalo before Kruger takes over
--Skinner ends up in coach's doghouse
--During Krueger's infamous tenure Jeff Skinner is second on the team in goals/60 (0.87) behind Skunk (0.96) but ahead of Jack (0.75) for Sabres who played in 50 or more games while he was 5th on the team in EVTOI/game, more than three minutes behind both Sam and Jack
Peyton Krebs
--has 15 points (4+11) in 18 games with the Amerks and 11 assists in 2022 Calder Cup playoffs (4 primary, 7 secondary), plus 22 points (7+15) in 48 Sabres games during 2021-22
--In his first two NHL seasons under Donnie Meatballs who stressed an offense first system (a full 180 from Kruger' defense at all cost approach) Krebs puts up 1.32 Pts/60 which is third worst on the team, ahead of only 'Selke' Asplund (1.16) and Gus (1.03) amongst forwards who played 100 or more games during that time period
--has zero points through nine games this season
Situations
--Skinner benched because of a poor head coach
--Krebs benched because of poor performance
yeah...something, something situations
