True
Right now we can only sign him to a 7year deal
But it doesn’t mean we can’t announce that we’ve agreed to sign an 8year deal with him after the deadline

If Skinner ends up walking,
that would be a disaster

this should tell you how out of touch the guy really is... Really he's surprised??? REALLY?
In fairness I think the Assistant coaches are all crap, so Phil hasn't exactly been setup for success.

They want to see a coaching change? No. We’ve made progress as an organization compared to last year. We’ve been in a position where we’ve been in games. I see the results on the ice. I see the communication that we’re going through here. There’s not going to be a coaching change.

I think/hope you’re right
Just getting nervous that we haven’t heard about a deal yet

Skinner comes across as genuine and passionate about hockey, traits we all want.

If he doesn't want to sign here and refuses to be traded then the favor we did him putting him with an elite center is being disrespected. If he doesn't sign or refuses trade at deadline you let Mr. Skinner showcase his talents with Sobotka centering him

Ya, and he loves his family and he is really close with his parents all or his sisters. I saw a thing where they all come out to watch him and all hang out together. Buffalo is close to TO and TO can’t afford skinzie right now.

Pegulas should try to capitalize on the close to TO factor. Leafs have no room for any big name people so anyone wanting to play close to home should be all over the BLo

If we could use that to get Skinner for 7.5 per, it would be amazing
I’m guessing it ends up being between 8-9mil though

8 for 8.5 is where it ends up if he resigns.

I think there's a lot more at stake here for the Sabres as an organization than just losing Skinner. He has to get Skinner signed one way or the other, OR he has to make a huge splash with an acquisition of another big name.

Am I wrong thinking this deal gets announced on Tuesday afternoon, or Wednesday, when they can publicly ink the 8 year deal they have basically negotiated already?

That would be good. Buffalo has a branding problem with both the team and the city. JB has to overcome that. It's not fair, but it is what it is.
