Jeff Skinner had 63 points in 82 games

And Matthews is a centre. Just stop

Bite me

He is Top 5 in the league over past 5 years in scoring Game-winning and Game-tying goals.
those goals mean a hell of alot more than scoring a hatty in a 9-1 game.

It's called be a gamer.

But, go on.

Didn't skinner notch 7 empty netters this season? Some of which were for blowout hatty's? I mean if your Buff fans are happy, Great!!!! I would be hurting deeply if my team committed 9M per season to a guy who's contract spans 27-35 years old, and has a 0.67ppg prior to the start of this big contract.

There is a reason everyone is surprised with Skinners contract.

It's OK to not like the contract but making up fake empty net stats doesn't help your case

Horrific contract.

William Nylander says "Hi."

The contract is fair value. UFA's get 'overpaid' because they are U(unrestricted). So in reality they are not overpaid. They aren't bargains either.

Well, having a great top line with Eich & Skinner is a big piece of the puzzle. Need a couple top 6 forwards, another top 4 D and swap out some 3-4th liners and this team could make the playoffs next year if they get some reasonable goaltending.

Yeah, so like 3 real good players away. Dare to dream.

Fair contract.

Skinner will never have to worry about another concussion and Buffalo retain a great skater and goal scorer.

Im detecting some pretty strong sarcasm

Jason Zucker at 5.5M for 4 more years and the guy is a career 20-22 goal and 40-45 point guy. What a fn terrrrrible dude to trade for.

He is basically a slightly better Sheary. Terrible. The only way in hell I’d come close to be okay with that trade is if Okposo goes the other way.

F that. Zucker is barely a top 6 winger. Barely.

Won't have to worry about the financial impact of another concussion.
