(laughing) thanks, just hoping that I can help someone else out. I was kind of in the same boat where I wanted to do *something* and then stumbled across the shed bar craze.

Just turned on the game. I see Olofsson already has 3 SOG on 5 attempts. Good start for the kid.

It has to be possible he’s still on a ELC

Maybe he he reached his max number of games

He had to be sent down at the trade deadline to be able to qualify for the playoffs
Mitts is also ineligible for the playoffs

Tage can participate though
Even though he techs didn’t play down there,
they sent him down & then recalled him

Im sure Sweden would extend an invite to him for the World Championships. I'd be surprised if they didn't. Would rather him get more minutes there then in the AHL. Hoping that the U.S give Mitts a call as well even though he didn't have the greatest of rookie seasons. Not even a year and a half ago Mitts toyed with everyone at the WJC and was known as a top 3 NHL prospect

Olofsson has already shown more than half of the sabres that played all year....

Did more in his 4:44 of icetime then Skinner has done in the last 10 games. Nylander also has more points in his 8 games here then Skinner has in his last 15. Idc if he has scored so many goals, he is not worth more then $8M long term.

Truth of the matter is.... it makes no difference what anyone here thinks... The Sabres will make that decision of who is worth what...

Olofsson has done more in 5 minutes of ice time then Skinner has in the last three weeks and thats a fact. I'm not saying Olofsson is a lock to be a top 6 fwd by any means after watching the guy play 5 minutes. It's more a testament to Skinner's lack of effort the past 15 games, he must be leaving the way he is going through the motions out there.

And how many times have we seen players do this in the last 8 years only to watch them crash back to earth?

In the last month which is 13 games, Skinner leads the team in high danger chances by 6. He has 18. Reinhart and Eichel 12

You mean the way Skinner has these past 30 games ? Botts might even be better off letting the guy walk for the money he wants.

Excellent...already 2-0 Detroit. No sense winning now. Thank you Housley for staying with the game plan of getting better odds for draft picks.
