Pacioretty > Skinner.

Why are people still trying to get Pacioretty he’s old and he doesn’t fit our timeframe
And going to command over $7 million no thank you

skinner is a different story He fits the timeframe
- gerbe75pts

Because he is good, and Buffalo needs good players.

I have no horse in this race, but I bet those numbers look different if you do 3 years instead of 5

Who ever created that is a multimillionaire now

Pacioretty > Skinner.
- ImThatGuy

Sure but he’s old in 3 years when we’re ready for the cup he will be 33 and 7m on the downside

It’s not a smart Plan

Glotov signed a ahl contract

this is tough
- homiedclown

That was pretty fun. It was tough to slot McCabe, ERod, and Girgensons in against the young prospects. In the end, Bailey, O'Regan, and Ogelvie didn't crack my top 25. That surprised me.

Pacioretty - 59th
Skinner - 92nd

I always found her overrated. Not that I think she's ugly, but I never got the fascination.

Pro tip from lecherous old coot:

Look for a little known minor network series called “Dirt”

Pacioretty - 59th
Skinner - 92nd
- ImThatGuy

Hm. Skinner has more goals in that time though. I think Pacioretty is/was? the better goalscorer though

Yes but it’s the next 5 years that matter not the past 5. I would take either player. I’m a big fan of both. But like Gerbe mentioned. Patches is 30 when the season begins. Skinner is the faster player and 4 years younger. Pacioretty will still be the better player this season and possibly next but Skinner is better value over the long haul.

Looking like 4 yrs 20 mill for Reinhart but the language in the contract may need some working over.

Does that make sam a ufa then?

Figured he’d get something like that. Especially after Lindholm got 4.85

Headed to Boca Raton (Family’s summer house) then Nashville (for my sister) then maybe Atlanta

Are you in fact a Pegula?
No wonder you protect Kimmie so hard.

Why make any trade at all, All players will eventually be free agents on July 1 at some point.

Why give up any assets to get anyone, ever?

Your handle fits you well, lol.

girgenson was my last slot at 25

surprised johansson was not even on the list

I'm not fond of it.
4 Years makes Sam an RFA right?
$5M seems expensive for his average production IMO.

Now, if he plays closer to his 2nd half lasts season it will be of terrific value to the Sabres ... and Sam explodes on his next contract.

If he has inconsistencies in his game caused by dem0ns he was facing, well then it becomes an undesirable contract.

I would have preferred a show me of 2 years at say 4.00 - 4.25 per...then lock him up for longer term isf desired. (yes at an overall higher rate)

This contract seems to "middle-it"
