If you don’t sign Skinner you might as well start tearing it down and rebuild the entire thing again.

You need a competent winger for Eichel.
How long have we been saying that.
Now we have one and y’all are ready to kick him to the curb.

Sign Skinner. Trade risto for a top 6 winger. The team is so much better up front.

Skinner walking for nothing will do more harm to this franchise than Kane and ROR.

- ImThatGuy


"do harm"......theyre in 11th place.

Skinner isn't worth a CENT over 7. NOT A CENT.....Reinhart is twice the player he is. And Ill argue that until Im blue in the face.

If Skinner left, Id be 100% ok with that. HUGE liability in our end. does NOTHING if he doesn't score. His scoring has value, without a doubt, but I don't need him to win.

Why Ban? Because many truths have been spoken in it? The Sabres culture is THE BIGGEST ISSUE and it is time to admit it. From the owner on down this team is a disaster. You could have 15 Wayne Gretzky's on this team and it would be in the same boat. The owner is SOFT..... the GM is SOFT.... the coach is an EXTREME CREAMPUFF.... The players are PHYSCO MIDGETS who can't handle an ounce of adversity...... THE LOSER MENTALITY RUNS RAMPANT THROUGHOUT THIS ORGANIZATION....... They are the 99 pound weakling on the beach and will continue to have sand kicked in their faces for a long long time...

This was a much better post than reading the doctrine that rivals War and Peace in length.

The only thing to do is keep moving and thinking positive maybe will win the lottery and have to jack and Jack Hughes for the next decade

And move Ristolainen for a top winger

Casey Nelson hasn't been up with the big club this whole time for what reason exactly?

Got to think Phil Houlsey is done after this season

Botts keeping him around to get a better draft pick.

Here's what's worse - he has been with the big club since the middle of February, but he has been the healthy scratch.

Dude has been injured since the beginning of December and then went to Rochester for a conditioning stint.

Not getting a 5-7 defenceman in the line up because he was injured for 3 months then sitting for a chance is perfectly normal.

So you trying to troll is wrong because he hasn't been scratched.

You *should* be wondering why he didn't play.

He is a better player than Hunwick and Scandella, at minimum. He should have been put in the lineup as soon as he was available.

Him sitting in the press box is one of half a dozen reasons over the last month that Housley needs to go.

I have been saying that for the last month yet posters telling me I am negative to saying I am stupid.

I am glad that I am not the only one who can see something in front of our faces.


Two biggest faults

-when the opposing team cycles the puck players chase and get lost leaving the net open
-when the defence pinches they don't go to the net. They circle around the net and the forward goes back to the point. When there is a shot no one is in front of the net.

Its just terrible.

Listen to the Housley interview on GR. It’s very telling what his philosophy is. And it’s disturbing.

We had to match physicality and be prepared for Zach Kassian. needed Risto to do that.

How (frank)ing embarrassing, game planning for Zach Kassian.

He sat a number of games. And that 5-7 defenseman was better than everyone but Dahlin yesterday.

Hunwick has played over him.

In the end I dont give a poop about Neson, he is a 6-7 defenceman.

Thanks for helping that other poster out. You did his work for him

Skinner is part of the solution. One of the only one scoring goals. You need to score goals to win last time I checked.

But you are right we should trade for guys like Kassian and Lucic who when they are not scoring (which is most of the time) at least can beat people up.

Because we are buffalo and we are blue collar and we beat people up.

I'm not gonna cry, I'm gonna laugh.

That's my reaction when ridiculous things happen.
