Didn't Kane get 8M AAV?

At least we are not talking about paying Skinner ROR type money... whewwwee.. He's special.

- JVince11

He will get more than ROR. As he should

Besides the top line he had the most shot attempts last night, and was a half foot from scoring on a deflection at the end of the 2nd.

There’s no way they are taking his skill out of the lineup for Scott Wilson

- sbroads24


Young kid who was a top prospect that you outright traded your 1C for in order to see his ceiling when getting NHL minutes....

or..

A retread 4th liner who has already shown what his ceiling is?

That one is not a contest.

Oh I don’t disagree, but I just like how you never pass up an opportunity to bash Eichel, but get on everyone’s case when people do the same thing with Reinhart.

It’s very Myers/Armia of you

1.) Stop yelling

2.) Yeah it's broken, McCabe is missing/hurt

3.) Play the best 6 if you want to be a true contending team

4.) Play the best 6 if you want to keep building for the future

5.) #3 and #4 is the same lineup IMO

6.) That lineup is:

Dahlin-Bogo
Risto-Pilut
McCabe-Bowl-U

7.) Scandella needs to be traded

8.) Nelson and Hunwick can battle it out for who is the 7th D

Haha. I remember when we were ready to ship Bowl U to the moon with the other undesirables.

I'd give a 1st round pick and a mid level prospect to move Okposo out.
- SABRES 89


Okposo might not be a 6M player right now but I don't know if he's THAT bad/useless to give that up to just get a body. If it was to get a decent top 6 guy back then sure but not JUST to move a contract.

Not sure what you meant?

where am I bashing him?


please tell me where, other then calling him clank last season when he hit the post every other shot and that was meant as a joke


he is not as good as matthews or mcdavid, but neither is any other player in the nhl


3 great centers come into the nhl in a 2 year span, so what if jack is the worst right now, still better then probably 24 of the other first line centers in the game

Get rid of him and free up money, horrible contract and he's worthless. Money saved for another player.

THIS PERSPECTIVE IS A NICE CHANGE. LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN BACK.

Jack is 6th in the NHL in points among Centers. Higher than guys like Malkin, Backstrom, Giroux, Monahan, Tavares, Crosby, Pettersson, and Couture.

if they sign skinner, okposo handcuffs any big slashes to make moving forward in the cap

even if pommer walks, whatever you save from skinner and pommer vs skinners new deal will be offset by mccabe's raise and the entry level contract to replace pommer on the roster

I like McCabe a lot, but he’s a candidate to be traded instead of giving a decent raise to.

Dahlin and Pilut make him a 3rd pairing player long term

jack is the main reason why our top line works well

skinner and reinhart have great chemistry together with jack and are great performers with jack


the 3 make up the best line sabre fans have seen since the french connection

but patty and alexander are still the best duo of all time

His shooting percentage is starting to get back to normal too so watch out. With a little more luck and an assistant coach capable of coordinating a PP hes a top 5 player in the league as early as next year.

Man... I went digging on our cap after this.... and saw that we are still paying Cody Hodgson $791K every year until 2023.

Not i'm all depressed and emotional man.

The difference in depth we have between LHD and RHD is absurd. I think a 1 for 1 trade would make sense with a lot of teams that have the opposite problem.
- Sabre_Tooth


Good RH defensemen aren’t generally available
There’s just less of them in the league
That’s why u see so many LH guys playing the right side

Not that i don’t like Samuelsson,
but i was kinda surprised we didn’t take Bode Wilde instead bc he’s a RH shot

Our best bet at swapping LH for RH might be to try & move Scandella at the deadline for a decent prospect to a playoff team looking for Vet defenseman depth
We only get someone worthwhile if he starts playing much better when he gets back though
And even then, we might have to find some sucker like Chiarelli or McPhee

McCabe

Scandella can go

Okposo is going to have to go

One of Berglund/Sobotka has to go

Then so be it. Unless the term is shorter like you mentioned you would think this organization would learn from the Okposo and Moulson mistakes. Skinner couldn't garner more then Pu and medling draft picks in the offseason and now hes a $8.5M dollar player ?

THIS THIS THIS.

This is my reaction to when people complain about Jack not scoring enough goals. If it's Jack's goal or him setting up a Skinner goal... I don't care who scores it. Look at the goals produced by THAT WHOLE LINE. Sam is almost a PPG player. The best he's been in his career was about a .55.
