Ugh, yeah. 70 points is good production.

Right now Samson is 44th in points. Not saying point totals are the end all, but based on the fact that's what everyone seems to female dog about...

Yes, he is producing like a first line player.
- RhinoFan

We shall see if he hits 70

Skinner is a stud

20 points. Real Stud.

I never complained about him he turned his career around I just don't want a 7m winger that won't ever score 30-40g
- gerbe75pts

There's a decent chance he ends with 28-30 goals this year though. Seems like he's not getting a fair shake.

hes on pace for 30 this year.......

Hes on pace for 30 every year and never gets it

What line is he on ?

He plays on a line with eichel.

Everyone can look and see that he has good point totals.
That's all sammers have - look at his points.

You went to the game last night. Basically our season on the line, solid team effort.

0 g 0 assists 0 points 1 shot 0 hits from Sam

Talk about bringing intensity to a big game ?

Did you even notice him, aside from the turnovers and the 1 nice pass to victor?

2/3 guys trying to shut eichel down every shift.

His points are inflated , they shouldn't pay him big $ for what eichels doing.

- zero leadership
- zero clutchness
- zero strength in battles

But hey , 60-70 points
- Boss34

In the second period coming down toward my end he put his head down and went through three Leafs up the gut of the ice. I thought that showed some real determination - frankly not his game. He lost the puck, though.

At the right price I keep him. he produces.

Playoff hockey is slower, less physical, and refs tighten up and call everything. Sam will thrive.

I was one of about 10 Sabres fans in 118 last night.

There was a hell of a lot of taunting going on early in the first, and after they tied it up 2-2. I was giving and getting it, both ways.

Some big Letterkenny farm boy was sitting two rows behind me - dipped his finger in his beer at 2-0 and flung the drips at the back of my neck. I told him I would come up to talk to him at the first intermission.

When it came time he stayed in his seat and just read his phone.

Poser.
- Der Kaiser

Why wait for the intermission?
No woodsheds available?

Pretty great feeling winning that game. Bunch of hosers

What line is he on ?
- gerbe75pts

Does it matter, hes invisible every night.

at 9Mil he needs to produce on his own from time to time.

He doesn't do that, at all, ever.

Hes not carrying the puck, hes not producing his shot volumes.

Sheary scored last night, Erod has been better.

For 9 Mil Skinner should be able to produce 40 points easily, every year. Im tried of teh excuses for him.


The argument for not paying sam is he only produces with Eichel. But with Skinner who is being paid 9 mil, He is only bad because of the line he is on.

SO therefor the SAbres should not have paid Skinner his contract, because as it turns out, He can only produce with Eichel.

What line is he on ?
- gerbe75pts

He hasn’t scored in like what 20 games ?

Sheary, Vesey, Okposo all scored last night.

Hes on pace for 30 every year and never gets it

Who is going to replace Sam if he is moved?

mind you that person has to come in and score 25+ goals a year, and 60+ points a year.

Take your pick of Dadonov, Hoffman, Toffoli.

Regardless. If he can pot 25-35 goals and 65-75 points a year with Eichel you sign him.

Its what Okposo was supposed to do. Its what many here female doged about for so long about getting Eichel players that can play with him.
- ImThatGuy

What about evander having a career year with eichel
Jeff skinner on his wing - 40 goals
Pommer last year
Vesey this year
Even girgs at times

You have to see this side?

Cant wait for someone to say, look at his expected goals for. They will eventually start to go in.

I've only been hearing that excuse for about 3 months now.

Take your pick of Dadonov, Hoffman, Toffoli.
- Pegullaville

All guys that are going to have to be paid 7+ mil a year , plus use assets to acquire, plus have to want to sign here.

Correct. Skinner, Eichel, reinhart needs to be a line again. That top line would produce at an insane rate.

Reinahrt is one of the few good players on this team and fans cant wait to get rid of him, because anyone can come in and replace him, which we have seen is clearly false.

Playoff hockey is slower, less physical, and refs tighten up and call everything. Sam will thrive.

Could be the: POST OF THE DAY

All guys that are going to have to be paid 7+ mil a year , plus use assets to acquire, plus have to want to sign here.

All three could be signed on July 1st for nothing.

Here is the thing. Can teh SAbres get to teh playoffs before stating whether someone is actually going to produce in teh playoffs.

Im glad the Sabres didint fall for signing Ville Leino to a ridiculous contract because of a playoff performance.

Does it matter, hes invisible every night.

at 9Mil he needs to produce on his own from time to time.

He doesn't do that, at all, ever.

Hes not carrying the puck, hes not producing his shot volumes.

Yes, I'm affraid of making the same mistake with sam
Paying for riding eichels coattails. (Like skinner)

That's exactly the point

All three could be signed on July 1st for nothing.
- Pegullaville

Players still don't want to come here. Buffalo is still ranked as the least likely destination for UFAs to sign, by a players poll.


Jason Zucker said flat out no, to Buffalo.

not that easy.

All three could be signed on July 1st for nothing.
- Pegullaville

Why not keep Rhino and sign one anyways. See if you get that 2C in a trade.

Take your pick of Dadonov, Hoffman, Toffoli.
- Pegullaville

Yep.... pretty much anyone

or can i just say olofsson
