because you're legit clueless, not my problem.

I am very sick of your extremely biased and ridiculous takes on the Skinner situation. By contrast, Vanek's offer-sheet contract was absolutely ludicrous at the times given the results we got form him afterward but no one talks about that, do they? Because 40-goal scorers don't grow on trees and we finally have a legit play-making center to feed that 40-goal guy and all you have done is piss and moan for the last 2 months about it.

Jeff Skinner will help this team score goals. We are not good at scoring goals. You don't let a 40-goal guy walk for nothing and expect to replace him with Connor friggin' Sheary or whatever "stop-gap" losers we sign on the after-market to score a total of 23 goals for the same damn money.

Seriously, most of the times opinions can’t be wrong.

The opinion of letting Jeff Skinner walk for nothing helping us more than it hurting us is an example of a wrong opinion

Overpaid, bottom pairing PP specialist for a 21 year old, probable generational sniper?

Let’s go boys.

You need to be either elite offensively or elite defensively. The Sabres didn’t have an identity. They didn’t score enough and they gave up too many which is blatantly obvious. Technically speaking however they did score more goals then the Isles did last season. The Isles allowed the least amount of goals in the league however.

You are completely out of touch with the current NHL. You do NOT need to be elite defensively.

Dude, yes, we scored more goals than the Islanders last year. Wow, astute observation. My god dude, are you being this dense on purpose? Seriously, you have been agitating more than Fitz lately, and you cannot stop banging this drum.

You are completely wrong. Completely.

I said, you have to OUTSCORE the other team, not SCORE THE MOST GOALS in the league. The Islanders OUTSCORED all the other teams they played. The Sabres DID NOT OUTSCORE the other teams they played. We were horrible on defense, had below-average goaltending, and could not score goals below the top line.

The Islanders had scoring from top to bottom, played solid team defense, got ludicrous goaltending and rolled their way into the playoffs. We didn't get any of that, even during our 10-game win streak.

Seriously, most of the times opinions can’t be wrong.

It's unreal that he keeps trying to argue the opposite.

Time will tell. You argue how Hayes is overpaid and how the Flyers should of started a mini rebuild yet Skinner is overpaid two years before our window will be realistically open and I’m a bad guy for arguing your exact same view point of another franchise.

I was a huge Vanek fan as well but would we have been better off with 4 first rounders and starting our own rebuild at that time as well ?

Will Skinner be an elite offensive player between years 4-8 of his deal ? Cause that’s when his production will matter barring Dahlin becoming Lidstrom tomorrow and Mittelstadt becoming a top 20 Centre in the NHL and us shocking the whole NHL and jumping the likes of the Lightning, Leafs, and Bruins.

Dahlin is already a star.

The window starts right now.

It’s time to make a playoff push this year and then contend here on out.

There’s no guarantee he’ll be traded before start of season, but there is very much hope that will happen.

A perennial 40 point dman is not overpaid at 5ish million also pretty sure he’s better than bottom pairing.

Seriously dude? That 600k could have been used to sign Remie Elie's younger brother, Reammyassout Elie and he is good for like, 01 goals per season.
