Who would of thought a contract year is a players best year? Stafford says hello.

You could say the same about skinner.

Well if you’re trying to make a point about his production and how he’s not good anymore I’d say it matters.
- Carubba-Kaleta

I didn't say he is "Not good anymore" I said i wont pay 9mil for a 55 point player. Is he a good player? Yes. Is he this god that everyone makes him out to be? No. He is over rated and over hyped. We would regret it almost immediately IMO.

Eklund saying Skinner could be added to craziness. So I guess that means he’s staying, lol

Correct.

He was an absolute beast last night and all over Kucherov. It's too bad these teams won't meet in the first round of the playoffs. Not saying we'd win by any means, but it would be a great series. We've developed a bit of a rivalry with Tampa - last night felt like a playoff game.

Let’s continue to amp up that rivalry & offersheet Point!

I don’t disagree, just making sure you have your facts straight. I want huberdeau or stone, also could use a top 4 right dman. MD is another locker room problem. As soon as Ottawa traded for him they sunk to the bottom. Colorado was worse with him than without.

I like Stone for sure. I just don't want to go out and sign a guy and be sitting here in 2 years talking about him like we are with Okposo.

Cincinnati Cyclones has the most points in the echl, 38-9-3 record
Rochester 1st in their division


success has yet to trickle to the NHL level, but when you look at the sabres organization as a whole, it is much better then before

one more crap year then botts has almost a clean slate with the big club
- homiedclown

The success in Cinci is nice i guess,
but the only guy on their roster who we might eventually see is Johansson

If our plan is to start “6K” down there,
then I’m glad we have a good team in front of him

But other than that,
I don’t see much value to even having an ECHL team

I'd rather try and trade for Couturier, but the Flyers would never trade him.

100% agree

Stone should be the target, NOT Duchene

So why were the pugalas taking in the FLA/car game yesterday? Even if they live down the street doesn't seem like they'd go to the game for pure enjoyment? What's huberdeau's contract situation?

$5.9M for the next 4 years, and he'll be 26 to start next season. He'd be a great fit.

Huh?
I was giving MY opinion
I’ve not no clue what the Pegula’s are thinking?
Or what will actually happen?

U should be happier with the $$$ the Pegulas are still paying u from the buyout

Another “playmaker”
We need guys that are scorers,
not pass first types

Where’s Huberdeau fit in the lineup for us?
Next to Mitts?
Who are those guys passing to then?
Bc neither like to shoot all that much

Good player
But a bad fit imo

IF Skinner is traded (JC, this place will be unbearable unless the return is astronomical), what are everyone's desires/expectations on a return?

What would everyone like to see?

He had 70, 8 seasons ago and had 67, 10 seasons ago. He has never touched 60 any other year.
- CoHo_to_B-Lo

On a per game basis, he averages 62/season

Sounds like an 8 year deal is close.

Anything less than McDavid and botts should be fired....
