He just got a shot on goal though!

I think that's Housley
- Frizzlefry

Both will lead to the same result hopefully to the door

He has 3 30 goal seasons without Eichel.

One of the best 5 on 5 goal scorers consistently..without Eichel.

He “drove his own line” for years already

437 points in 647 games. That equates to 55 points a season. Elite goal scorer who barely shows up in the assist column and isn't very good defensively. He is one dimensional. Is the 3rd best forward on our team worth $9M ? Like I said I really like Skinner but he is a $7.5-$8M player.

WHO WERE YOU PEOPLE BLAMING FOR THE SABRES LOSING WHILE SKINNER WAS SCORING EVERY NIGHT? THIS TEAM QUIT IN FRIGGING NOVEMBER AND YOU ALL WEREN'T PUTTING BLAME ON ANYONE...

Yeah I’ll overpay a mil for 30+ goals.

Evander Kane is like 8th on his own team in scoring and signed for 7

Not worth losing Sam for that’s for sure.

I'm generally fine with Botts so far. Not every move is going to work out 100% but if Housley isn't fired then I might ne changing my mind.

Of course we gotta draw a line somewhere...

But will the extra .5-1.0mil really be a “problem”

Bc trying to replace his 35-40 goals certainly will be

Agreed . WE have him and to replace him in hopes to equal him could be a dream .

I gotta say I would hate to play any game of hockey when stripes is officiating.

I really like Tage .

Ppl finally coming around to see why i didn’t like him as a prospect/young player

Hopefully some time on Rochester (if they’d freaking send him down) will help out

This will be his third season of his career he eclipses 60 points in 8 full seasons. I know we are all enamoured by goals but is that worth $9M a year ?

personally i dont think any athlete is worth more than 500,000 a year. they are playing a frigging game for gods sake...

What would it cost for the same player ? How many are out there better and their price ?

We have Skinner now, and we still need to add scoring
Losing him could be a disaster
Not that i want to overpay him either
Hopefully Botts can work out a decent deal

It’s making me very nervous that we aren’t hearing anything about it being close though

This is a question for Botts to answer.

exactly... losing skinner sets this team back 4 years at least

Might come down to an extra million. . What would that ,million get us in another player? He is a Jack caliber player . offer less and we lose that player .

- cabin

He’s a big guy who isn’t physical,
and doesn’t cash in on his chances
He misses the net more than Zhitnik 😂😂😂

If he doesn’t develop into a 25-ish goal scorer, then he’s just taking up a spot

Snipers that don’t score aren’t very useful

More Sobotka please

tell me again.... what sabre scored tonight??????????
