If that is the case the Sabres are going to be saddled with the worst contract in the NHL.
- ImThatGuy



Already is.

19 goals last 82 games.

7 years left at 9 mil a year!!! He’s only gonna get worse too

Im sorry, but eventually you have to start blaming the player.

He cant just wait around to rely on others to feed him gimme goals.

He needs to go out and do it on his own, maybe once or twice.

Is that too much to ask that he make chances and opportunities for himself?

- ImThatGuy


It is not too much too ask for, but we all ready know what Skinner is capable of doing while playing with an elite center (40 goals) and we all ready know what he is capable of playing like with shat centers (11 goals) get him a capable center and he will be between 30-40 goals a year.

For me it is really not hard to get.

Bring me the diggs
- gerbe75pts



Will give us way more than drafting a dude in 2nd (most likely) and now frees up our first for a DE.

He will want a new contract. This is year to do it though while Allen is cheap and we have some space

The issue is, you have to get people to want to come here.

This season has only made the situation in Buffalo worse.

I have a feeling we are going to see some of these guys we want gone, re-signed, because they need bodies.

Relying on Cozens to just come in and be 2nd line center is a huge stretch IMO, and Mitts has proven he is still not ready.

- ImThatGuy


eh over rated... give them money they will come... when /IF the Sabres are contenders then the price drops

They gave Skinner the money to stay.

Talk about over rated.

thats pretty presumptuous to think by the time they are good that transactions will still be done with money

Greg Tompsett @GregTompsett

A team acquiring Stefan Diggs would be taking on the remaining 4 yrs $45.1M of his deal with the 1st year guaranteed

Rumor is a 2nd rd price tag

- gerbe75pts


Cap hit is about 15M for the next 3 years and 12 in year 4.
Elite playmaking receiver, under utilized in MIN. The type of receiver that would boom here.
He's 26 years old. I think he'd be worthy of a 2nd.

YES YES. He wants out so bad.

That is the guy the Bills need to overpay for.

get Yannick and trade for Diggs.
2nd and a 5th for Diggs

Do nothing else and the offseason is a success.

There are a minority of players with NTCs and NMCs. Not all players with those clauses would reject Buffalo. So yes, you need to re-sign and promote some, but trading should be option 1 and FA should be 2.

Thoroughly enjoying the twitter narrative that he's this awesome defenseman, when in reality, he's Brandon Montour extra light.
- TheSabresTaco
Hoping he’s better than John Gilmour. But maybe you’re right, pointless in 11 is pretty underwhelming. Perhaps the vaunted defensive depth is a bit of a mirage.

Wouldn’t have cap space for anything else after those two, extending Tre, Milano and Dawkins.

Would be a really nice looking roster though
