Maybe he just likes Nashville more than Buffalo ? I would have chosen Nashville too, despite what Buffalo offered. Nashville is beautiful, Buffalo is not. Nashville has a great team, we do not.

It's not really, it's $20M less. He's not getting big time money at 31.
- Wetbandit1

Zuccarello just got 6m per for 5 years at 31 and he’s a lesser player so I disagree. Plus 3 years from now players will be making more, it always happens. So if you compare 7 at 8m = 56m vs 3 at 12m then 4 at 6m = 62m conservatively. So I say no fkn way he turned down 3 at 12.

Strange how some of the top UFAs disagree with your assessment of Dallas.

I know they will make the playoffs but you made it seem they’re going to be cup favorites and I don’t see that at all

Sure, but the $56M is guaranteed. Tomorrow is not guaranteed. Players are risk averse. Why would you bet $20M that you'd be worth what you'd lose and then some in 3 years when you'll be at an age where players are usually out of the league all together and declining sharply if they are still in the league?

The gamble is the play style he employs, that his decline will not directly correlate with the dollars he makes.

Way I see it, if you need to overpay a guy by 1 or 2 mil, do it as long as they produce through the life of the contract.

If Skinner can still put up 50 points when he's 35, I'd say that's a major win for Buffalo.

- TheSabresTaco



I disagree with play style. He needs his speed. That will slow down and hurt his game. 4 of his 9 seasons he didn’t hit 50 pts, I can’t imagine he will his last 4 years of deal either

While we're waiting for poopty season, anyone wanna play Yukon Trail with me?



It's a game about heading through northwest Canada to find the best hockey prospects in the Yukon. Problem is, once you arrive, all that exists are lanky, unskilled no talent ass clowns that shouldn't ever be (frank)ing drafted because their name isn't Cole (frank)ing Caufield.

Why would I care if Vegas won the cup?

We would have picked 17 if Dallas scored in OT

You said they arent going to do poop next words, I believe were your exact words. Apparently that means they wont go to the finals, so I say again, I guess Tampa didnt do poop last year.

Full of poop takes today I see.
