he had an all star team with nucks
never won

nice run with decent ranger team
never won

he's an ok safe play, but IMO not the right guy behind the bench

He was 60 minutes away from a cup. The outcome of that single game hardly takes away from what he did with them

Exactly.

Enough ex-Sabres.

No to Vanek, Stifford, Miller, Barnes, Dudacek or Tsujimoto.

How I view a skinner contract.

1.25m for every 10 points.
65 points / 10 = 6.5

1.25 * 6.5 = 8.125 per year.

8 for $65m

The abuse he took every game in front of the net was just incredible to watch

Even though people said he was a (wussy)

Agreed. He took a beating.

Tougher than most gave him credit for. Just don't know if he's the right guy right now. But I'm no expert and I'm certainly not in the dressing room.

Like Risto said, maybe we need to motherfk each other a little more. They need to hold each other's feet to the fire more. However...

I want a guy or two in that room that when a young kid or even a young vet looks across that big, fancy dressing room and sees a "Joe Pavelski" or a "David Backes" over there, he's thinking, "crap, I'd better bring it".

OK we don’t have to talk about vanek lol

He will be the last player I want from free agency to be honest

I have my list
1) bread - not coming here but my dream
2) Matt Duchene - always loved him hopefully we can sign him around 8 million
3 ) pavs -going to sign with the sharks .. but if not throw that man 7.5 million for three years put him with Jack Eichel
4) dzingel 4 years 4.5 or 5
5) jordon eberle ( Could be a buy low and exceed expectations ) 3.2 m
6) Brandon pirri ( this guy gets unnoticed every year I don’t get it ) hopefully we give him a $2.5 million deal for 2 years
