Are there any people out there who still think Ristolainen is good?

Can we all now try and convince Housley?

I love Skinner, but he really does average 26 goals a year and 50 points. what is that worth in today's NHL?

Last year it would of costed you 7x7 or 5x7 (E.Kane and JVR). So accounting for inflation he shouldn’t see a dollar over $8M. Hence why Botts is telling him to get f***ed if he wants over 9M.

He averages 30 goals per 82 games played.

Mostly with mediocre centers, and is among the leaders in 5 on 5 goal scoring on a yearly basis.

His goal scoring is needed here

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

Serious question...
In your opinion, at what point should players be expected to contribute and take responsibilty for their game without the "their young" excuse?

I ask because the game is quickly being turned over to the youth movement playing in prominent positions, and many are succeeding on a consistent basis. More is expected younger.

For those of you who are advocating letting Skinner go.... Who is going to score 40 goals for this team? All you do is open a gaping hole by letting him go....

I am with you.... I really am, I just don't see him staying here. I think he hits the open market and some GM gives 9+ to him.

he would be silly to at least not listen to offers... Right??

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.

- Boss34

He damn near knocked skinner into the stands when he scored against Toronto.

Who’s to say he hits 40 ever, hasn’t done it yet in his career. It’s weird usually people on here are leery of contract year players.

The Sabre’s once moved a 38 goal guy for the waiver fee of $1 US.

Yeah and they once let their 2 best players walk on July 1 and look where it has gotten them some 10 years later..... If Skinner walks it will guarantee another 10 years without playoff hockey in Buffalo. It will only confirm that the Sabres have absolutely no desire to put a competitive team on the ice...

Homie... The Sabres can't find a frigging 15 goal scorer to replace him.... He simply cannot be allowed to walk..
