Yeah give me Skinner at like $2.5M over Drouin all day.
You can stick Skinner on a line with Mitts and Lehky. And then put 9296 back together again!
They are not the same player.
Skinner a better goal scorer, Drouin a better playmaker. Equally good skaters.
Where there's a massive difference is the play away from the puck. Skinner is one of the biggest floaters in the league and genuinely doesn't give a shit about his own zone or when his team doesn't have the puck. Drouin was a puck hound all season long for us, and let's be honest, an ELITE two-way player.
