On Skinner….

Jeff Skinner has had a hell of a campaign so far for the Sabres and has shown great chemistry with Jack Eichel. There is no denying any of that..However there is also no denying the situation that brought Skinner to Buffalo. Jeff made it clear he wanted to go to free agency on July 1, and because of that the Sabres got Skinner from the basement bargain bin…Has that changed now that he is seeing success on a very dangerous up-and-coming team? Maybe..but no one knows really for certain..

Add to that why Skinner wanted to go to July 1 in the first place. Jeff has made it quite obvious to friends and others over the years he would love to be a Maple Leaf and that matters to him in a major way I am told.

The Maple Leafs of course are in salary cap hell right now…They may want Skinner, but there is truly no realistic way to sign him….UNLESS…William Nylander is moved and prospects return…not putting much stress on the salary cap…Then, in actuality you could trade Nylander for some serious prospects AND Jeff Skinner, who I believe would sign for less in Toronto than Nylander wants and is a better player on top of it…

The Sabres want to keep him of course, but so far that has not looked like a slam dunk.

On the Islanders and Justin Faulk…

The Islanders are much better than expected, but Lou and Barry aren’t about icing a team that may squeak into the playoffs this year. The playoffs are great, but these guys were brought in for a lot more than that…The Isles have a lot of pending UFA’s coming up who have serious value, but they are on the offensive side of the puck…Justin Faulk would fit in perfectly with the Isles…but it will cost them..

Coming up...

I am working on a rumor involving Mark Stone in Ottawa...
