Jeff Skinner is the same age as ROR, and will be looking at potentially a 7x7 contract. I'm not sure how it helps us as a 1-for-1 swap.

His point totals also vary wildly: 31 pts in 77 games, up to 63 points in 79 games.

Does it really make sense to give him a raise from $5.75?

Anyway, i'll let the ROR trade enthusiasts enjoy this one

I got this.

Eichel is bust, Middlestat will be injury prone. The defense is atrocious and Botts will mess up the draft and reach for Quinn Hughes at 1. He is also racist for trading Kane. If Ror could stop being an entitles brat maybe he would still love the game.

I think we trade him to Nashville who could use some leadership for Josi, a 1st and a prospect. We can throw in Jordan Nolan in a sign and trade.

I don't think he's gonna take a pay cut, and he's gonna want max term. Someone on the open market would give him max term. Kane's contract is gonna set the tone

I'm not gonna be captain buzzkill on this one. We'll see what happens in a month at the draft, I suppose

I agree. He's inconsistent, just as expensive and the same age.

I get that he goes along with Botts/Housley's desire for speed and he fills a position of need, but the cons outweight the pros.

He will be just as expensive, we aren't getting younger and he is inconsistent as you say. Could be great with Eichel, but Canes would have to add for me.

Given that he is their top scorer, I don't see Carolina trading him with extras for our 2nd line center. We'll see, but I don't know how that works to the benefit of the Sabres enough to pull the trigger. Perhaps if he'd take that 5.75 or whatever again, but he'll want a raise, probably to right around that 7M that Kane got...too much.

There are plenty of options with RoR. If we ARE going to trade him, let's get the best return we can, which isn't necessarily the shiniest toy either.

I don't think ROR will be moved and I don't think skinner will waive to come here, but I can see why anyone would want that. As far as goal scoring goes, he's the real deal.

I have no clue what Skinner's thoughts are, but I agree about ROR. I don't think he will be moved at the draft unless it is to move up in the top 5. I think they go into the season with him, and depending on how things are going, possible move him late October, early November.

See that's how dumb you are, nobody said Tavares isn't worth the money, they said it makes no sense for the Sabres to pay him 11 mill a year in the current state this team is in.
