#Sabres announce the team has signed forward Jeff Skinner to an eight-year contract with $9M AAV

You may think that $9M AAV is a lot to pay Skinner. I don’t. It’s only 10.8% of #Sabres salary cap

Botterill said this week he has a comfort level with @JeffSkinner integrating well with #Sabres management, trainers, coaches, teammates, fans. Botterill is pleased with Skinner’s commitment to his personal fitness and team leadership. Skinner has the character #Sabres value https://t.co/Us36DvACmo

The most important aspect of @JeffSkinner re-signing with #Sabres is he can now afford to pick up four new pairs of John Varvatos jeans. Poor kid has been bumping around town in old, holy jeans. Go have a time, Skinny pic.twitter.com/0WF56C0xoF

BUF and Jeff Skinner, who is a pending UFA, are closing in on an eight-year extension. It’s expected to have an AAV of $9M or thereabouts.

One of my favorite @JeffSkinner stats? Despite #Sabres struggles during second half of last season, Skinner concluded the disappointing season at even rating. Scoring 32 even strength goals will do wonders for Skinner, who has scored 191 EVG in his NHL career #Money #PaySkinner pic.twitter.com/Hnv3AYPKDC

Krueger said he spoke by phone with @JeffSkinner It was a long phone call. Krueger approached Skinner as if he were a Buffalo Sabre. They talked about usage and strategy
