Tell me you didn't watch a single minute of preseason without telling me. heh. The line was brutal, a GA nightmare, and Skinner was the worst forward on the team throughout preseason. I'm more than fine with the change but it should be somebody other than Janmark.
I didn't watch much of the preseason but I did hear Skinner wasn't impressive. That being said, I would have given him at least 4-5 regular season games on the second line to get up to speed and build chemistry, which, with two completely new linemates, can take time.Jeff Skinner was junk the entire preseason.
And, as a few others agreed, if you want to make changes this early, I think the logical move is to swap Skinner with RNH and leave Janmark in the bottom six where he belongs. I don't know why Knob is so dead-set on keeping that first line intact. I feel like Nuge is almost redundant on that line and could be much better served as a defensive consciousness on the second line.
