Jeff Skinner Excelling since Trade to Buffalo Sabres
As the owner of GMP Cars, LLC, Geoffrey Palermo has steadily grown his automotive enterprise to include eight collision repair shops throughout Northern California since 2008. Beyond his professional pursuits, Geoffrey Palermo is a passionate fan of the National Hockey League's Buffalo Sabres.
Seeking to improve their offense and make the playoffs for the first time since 2011, the Sabres acquired winger Jeff Skinner from the Carolina Hurricanes this past off-season. Buffalo sent Carolina three draft picks, as well as prospect Cliff Pu in exchange for the 26-year-old native of Toronto, Ontario, and the trade has worked out incredibly well for the Sabres thus far. Originally selected seventh overall by the Hurricanes in the 2010 NHL Draft, Skinner had 204 goals and 175 assists through his first 579 games in the league. He has a career high of 37 goals, but only scored 24 in a full 82-game season last year.
However, Skinner has already equaled last season's goal totals through the first 34 games of the 2018-19 season, and he ranked second in the league in goals as of December 18, behind only Alex Ovechkin. His 34 points also ranks him second on the team, behind Jack Eichel, who has 14 goals and 31 assists for 45 points.
