People will be saying it for 3 years.

Get used to it.

If you’re gonna join the conversation pay the (frank) attention to what’s going on we are talking about next year.

1- no need to be a d!ck

2- where did anyone say they wanted to “trot out Houser, Dell & Tokarski every night” next year?

My point exactly.

Its not easier to have a conversation when people want to just make poop up

Where is the even up call for hitting Skinner from behind?

Skinner Contract is not good even if he scores 30.

Guys like him shouldn't be making 9m a year.

But lets be happy if he scores 30 he is pulling his own weight.
- sabresfan69

from 2010-11 (skimmer's rookie season) to 2018-19 (the year that led to his contract) skinner scored 244 goals tying him for 13th with toews during that span

the list:

ovie
stamkos
tavares
p. kane
pavelski
crosby
marchand
seguin
kessel
been
perry
malkin

his 191 even strength goals were 5th behind ovie, tavares, kane stamkos

Not sure what you’re trying to say here?
- jdfitz77

if can't figure it out, that's your problem, not mine

Both these teams are undisciplined to say the least.

Konecny better get a penalty for his baseball swing(I am sure he wont)

We are paying him $9M for what he’s doing now.

What am I supposed to care for what he did in Carolina ?

Now are we going to justify Okpsoo’s $6M because he was a nearly PPG player on the Island ?

Skinner is a $6.5M dollar player making $9M for too much term. Good player, crappy contract

He was great for awhile.

He hasn’t been good since signing the contract.

Hopeyfully he becomes a 30 goal guy again. They could use him.

Attaboy dahlin. That is what I’m talking about with TEAM toughness
- hehateme

That was probably the best play of the period for me.

I love team toughness but its tough to talk about it here because people think its about fighting when its not.


Dahlin is really looking good, he is even starting to take over the play at times.

Watching Dahlin when he has the puck is a real treat.

Flyer fan crying about losing to buffalo
And our broadcast team is as bad as Boston


Now can they play well enough in 3 rd to get the win

I think it makes sense to bring in a guy like Holtby (or any decent Vet) for 2-3years to pair with UPL while Levi & Portillo continue to develop

I don’t think there’s a rush to get either up here
There should t be anyways

8-3-5 when leading going into the 3rd

if can't figure it out, that's your problem, not mine
- Michael Pachla

All u did was post Skinner’s stats
U didn’t make a point

Idk what your problem is, but there’s no need to be a d!ck

I think 6K gets handed every chance to be a starter. Not worried about his bad start in Rochester then bring in a veteran like you said.

Not gonna plan for injuries if your goalie goes down then you make a trade.

Fine with Tokarski as the 3rd goalie.

umm, no...

you're a finance guy so you should know about supply and demand...look at those 13 players he's in company with...without looking i'd say all those guys were in that same relative price range...

you're a hockey guy, being 5th in the league over that span in even strength points was very important to a team like buffalo and he was top-five...

you're a sabres fan, you know what it's like to attract players that want to play in buffalo...skimmer wanted to play in buffalo


add it all up: 1+1+1=8yr./$72m deal

it's not rocket surgery...

and, btw, he's on pace for his fourth 30+goal season on a bottom-five team

thank you for getting it...and also, look at his absolute worst seasons...what was the common denominator?

exactly...


plz explain to fitz

Yeah, think it's a big thing for this young team. Learning how to finish out games.

Yeah I’m a finance guy, I was begging the Sabres for months to let him walk to UFA and not buy the top.

Giving Skinner that contract was like buying Bitcoin at $61K.

Skinner isn’t currently worth 9mil a season

Driving his value up the way they did, then giving him that deal was gross negligence.
