Your gonna pay one way or the other If you can't buy it outright the more you put down the less your monthly payments will be, if you can afford higher monthly payments then don't put down as much. And your credit score can help immensely with your interest rates.

This is an instance where it would be nice to either have an experienced GM or team president to call in Ralph & Skinner and get whatever the f*ck is going on between them settled

It’s beyond ridiculous at this point

i'd rather go after lavonte david for a 2 or 3 year deal
- Michael Pachla


👏👏👏
I really like Shaq Barrett as well

The Salary Cap should go up quite a bit in 2years,
so I’d like to see the Bills get as much top end talent locked up now- even if that means being really thin with depth
Then when the Cap goes up after next season,
we can fill in any gaps in the depth department we need

Lance Lysowski made a great point on twitter -

This coach put Vlad Sobotka in the top 6 last year for an extended period of time.

Why should we trust what he thinks on almost anything

Or you can sign players know to 1 or 2yr deals and worry about the Cap in 2yrs, the Bill's have a good window know

What % do you blame skinner/ krueger

Me:

Skinner 75% blame - 1 assist
Krueger 25% blame - bring the best out in your players

100% on Kruger, no question. Goal scorers don't belong on the 4th line. Especially when your team is lacking in that department.

I flip it...maybe 60/40 coach to Skinner. Good coaches allow their players to do what they do best. Ralph Kruger is almost as bad at it as Ted Nolan and/or Ron Rolston.

They had minimal effect on the games. Just like skinner and company now... funny how we all wanted him to have a center last year when he wasn't producing and now we get a center for him and he gets banished to the fourth line....?

Right.... AND your business model has been running just fine without it- correct?

Hence,
You’re busy enough at current standards to need the extra revenue at worse percentages of profit

There’s a newish service out there that’s much cheaper u guys may wanna look into though

we felt casey deserved to get a chance and provide a spark

obviously in a shortened season, guys are gonna need to sit out so as a team we are fresh

we like what skinner brings and expect him to be a strong piece moving forward when we get him back in the lineup

but right now casey is working hard and we felt as an organization he deserved a shot to play

- homiedclown


Hopefully Mitts plays well enough to stay in the lineup
Then Skinner will have some talent to play with when he comes back in, & Okposo or Sheahan sits

Top players will be cheaper now, bc so few teams have Cap Space
So I’d go after those players now- and if they’re young enough, sign them long term so we don’t have to pay inflated costs when the Cap goes way up in a few years

Skinner had 7 goals in 15 games playing with Sobotka before Sobotka got hurt against TB overseas last year. It wasn't perfect, but he was scoring.

You seem to forget Josh is coming up and Edmunds if you keep him is coming up in 2 yrs, if you can get a younger player on a good deal great, but these players and there agents aren't stupid they know that the cap will be going up too.
