He is a great goal scorer. But what would he cost?

I am not saying he is bad, but at the price tag he is probably going to get... you don't want a goal scorer, scoring 4 goals from 12/1-2/20

Twitter had some interesting thoughts in regards to Jack's celebrations after he scores.

Apparently he celebrates by himself. Kinda ignored skinner?

Jack knows skinner is gone. Giving him the "captain" treatment?

I didnt notice this at the game last night.

I'm not going to lie last night reading jacks body language it almost seemed that way. Skinner was super pumped that he scored and jack was just like ...whatever...

It was kinda crazy. Yeah, looks like skinner may hit the market, SMH.

Eichel is playing so well

It's almost like the real pressure is off. Going nowhere again.

Maybe he just isnt gonna celebrate , because it's kinda meaningless?

Skinner still did the double first pump.

I understand but he’s so young and most likely going to have 30 + in a down year the cost would be high but I believe he’s worth it players like him are never on the market

I don’t understand why you put the blame on him when it’s a team game we Basically got him for free in a trade you need to sign him

I have no problem signing him for 7/yr. when people start talking 9...that's ridiculous.

hes an average goal scorer that doesn't provide much else.

the blame.....is ALL RISTOS

When your paying moulson 5 million to play in the ahl, all these expiring contracts

Pommer
Moulson

What's an extra 1.5 million buffatax?

It's not like they can go "buy" someone else without overpaying them too

Just my opinion but, I think that it's clear that this team lacks mental toughness.

Which means that this team as it currently exists does not have a leader that everyone respects or listens to on or behind the bench.

Jacks a leader.....jack cant get to Risto, Oreilly couldn't, Lehner couldn't, Kane couldn't, Housley cant, TM couldn't, JB cant, Pommer cant, Bogo cant...

all those guys are poor leaders???

Or is Risto just an idiot??

If we let skinner walk and could potentially dump a okposo/scandella/sobotka contract(s) while including moulson and pommer contracts off the books honestly we could have a poop ton of cap space.

Dinty Moore beef stew is pretty good.

An hour from now I will prolly hate myself for eating it.

Dinty Moore is a metaphor for every stupid FA contract the Sabres have ever signed.

Draft and develop.

When is the lottery drawing?

so I keep hearing that Skinner loves Buffalo and has never played with a center like Eichel and he will sign.

Let me think like a player (if I was one). The real question is how much money can I make for the next 7-8 years.... yes I would love to play for a contender every year. but sometimes that just does not happen. So I have to take care of me and my family first.

So IMO, Skinner will go to the open market on 7/1 and he will get multiple offers, I would bet that some GM offers him 9 mil. I don't think that Skinner will sign here because I don't think Jbotts wants to go that high and he shouldn't. I love Skinner, but he really is 1 dimensional, he scores goals. Skinner is also a defensive liability and a turn over machine. Good with the bad..

I hope that Skinner see's the value of staying here but in the end 99% of the time Money talks....And with the year he is having some team will OVER PAY... Just don't think it will be Buffalo..

nolan-players quit and never play out each shift
disco dan-players quit and never play out each shift
housley-players quit and never play out each shift


this can be said night in and night out for almost every player aside from the 4 you named, and skinner


bogo tries, but he sucks so he is in a special lump of himself

Jeff Skinner on contract talks with Sabre’s: “There’s going to be no specifics on it. I think they’re going to figure it out. I think that sort of thing will figure itself out in the future. Yeah, I don’t really worry about it.”
