Forum:Skill Drain V.s Flips

So, i know Skill drain negates flip effects, but the explanation seems fishy. From what iv read, flip effect monsters resolve while still on the field, thus skill drain negates them. But what about penguin soldier, his effect can target himself, but when he is attacked, he cannot return himself because he is no longer on the field correct? So if his effect resolves while he is no longer on the field wouldn't that mean skill drain does not effect him. Then wouldn't all flip effects work with skill drain?

Also, with priority, a player can use cards like breakers effect to pop backfield if he is Trap holed, ect right? Or Arcanite Magicians counters, priority them to destroy two cards on the field?
