No way. I’ll almost be disappointed if Skinner isn’t playing with Eichel. Eichel needs someone to help make him a superstar. Let Mitts earn his stripes with Sheary and Samsonite. Put ERod on Eichel’s RW. Someone who is willing to be the grease guy. Suddenly I can’t wait for the season.

Have to think ofnstyle of play though, too. Jack likes to carry the puck and the. creates on his own and dishes for tap ins/one timers. From what I’ve seen of Skinner, he also carries the puck and creates for himself, with very few assists.

I need to look at more highlights for Sheary, but if he is more of a converter than a creator (and that would make sense from his time with Sid) Sheary May fit better with Jack than on the second like, and let Skinner form a 1B line with Mittlestats.

You should go beat your wife, apparently looking for an argument is your objective.

You are going great kiddo

Keep up the positivity.


I know you are a positive guy now, but skinner made the Sabres jump from 31-26 area bottom 5


To 1-16 playoffs

That's a huge swing

Sure.
And consider other aspects like sticking a Rookie C with a guy who is a liability on D.
Just something else to consider.
Between the two,
Skinner looks to be a stronger 2way player, so that could help Stats, along with stronger passing and shot creation.
Sheary looks a defensive liability, but can fly as well

I really like both combos, but sometimes guys do not mesh.

Eichel is such a mega superstar about to burst
He controls the play, obviously he needs a good winger, but he can carry a Thompson or erod

Mitts might have better chemistry with skinner.

sheary-e-rod/dirty pod racer-pommer/thompson


this gives jack a vet

gives casey 2 vets

could be a very fast 3rd line if it's sheary, e-rod and thompson

Would like to see at least one of Jack’s wingers have some speed
