Chris Johnston on TCJS says Leafs talked to Jeff Skinner, pitched him on the idea of playing next to Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner, ultimately he chose Edmonton.

When the choice is McDavid or Matthews, it’s McDavid every day. Besides, the Leafs don’t get very far into the playoffs on a recurring basis LOL

Thank God he chose somewhere out west

This really ruined the “skinner only signed in Edmonton because that’s the only offer he got narrative”

Really skinner fits on a top line there so I don’t blame him. Can be an integral side piece and not the main contributor. Having McDavid and Leon passing you the puck to score I don’t blame him.

Choice between everyone desperately trying to get a guy 70 goals, and the best player in the world trying to get you goals

I still really hate that we moved on from him
I know they didn’t like his style and whatnot, but I feel we still have a massive hole on the team right now, and I don’t think we got better moving on from him
I think he’s going to be really good next season

Skinner puts it in his own net past Skinner. And the boos fill the arena!

While I will root for him to do well (both for him and for McDavid’s sake), how funny would it be if they missed the playoffs next year?

He chose to be guaranteed no cup over guaranteed a first round exit. Can’t blame him

Skinner – Mcdavid – Drai is gonna be an absolutely killer line
