63 points got $kinner 8x9.
94 points gets Mitchy...?

He’s a Leaf fan and should know Marner will get 11-12, he’s just busting balls. Botts signs Skinner for 9, and Leaf fans laugh about it, if we lose Skinner for nothing, Leaf fans will laugh at the Sabres. It’s a lose, lose situation.

And I guess they could also rip on Jeffy for not being in a cool iPhone commercial like Mitch and Auston. Lose, lose, lose.

All that matters is that it's all done and over with, sure money and term are high but, the market sets the price. Sounds like 60-70 points gets you 9 mill a year, wow.

You're paying for goals, not points. Especially even strength goals. That's what gets the big bucks

Too bad he’s getting paid for the next 8 years and not what he’s done this past season and in the past. I was ecstatic when we traded for Skinner, just hope he can live up to this contract now. It won’t be easy.

No, it won’t be easy. Hopefully the Sabres get a good three seasons out of him.

Sure, but he wasn't making ~$10.25M on the open market to match.
- Wetbandit1

Ppl keep doing this funky math

What was he gonna get on the open market?
*like anyone knows... but let’s just say he’d still only get 9mil per

So 9m x 7yrs instead of 8
but then u have to account for how much he’d make in year 1 of his next deal, and add that too
Bc he’s not likely to retire
Let’s just go with a low number like 3mil, even though it’s probab gonna be more like double that

That would mean that we really overpaid him by 6mil, over 8yrs...
or .75mil per season overpayment
*and that’s IF he only made 3mil per on his next deal, and IF he only got 9.0mil on the open market...
If u change the numbers to 9.5mil on the open market and 5.5mil on his next deal (very possible, if not more)...
Then it’s completely even

But let’s just say we MIGHT have overpaid by 1mil per (worst case) at the absolute most

Big whoop... that’s buff-a-tax...
not really a big deal

Skinner just may have scored more goals for us last year than Tage will in his whole Sabres career!

Its contracts like that that drive the marketplace way out of wack.

Looks like Buffalo39 hit on another one. Well done sir. Crazy, people thought yesterday, even real insiders that Skinner was at a breaking point.

Wrong again
- SABRES 89

Right again ..ten year olds were saying 8.5,9 million. I called it three hours before it was announced. You guys have been saying it for months, I said it when it was going to happen

most 5 on 5 goals in the last 3 years for any winger in the nhl

but keep trolling, like you do in most blogs

10pm friday, your single, and trolling a hockey chat room, nice life
- homiedclown

How many of those goals was buffalo down 4-1, 3-0, etc. I think buffalo made the right call here but was skinner potting a lot of garbage time goals?

Enjoy pick #31 lol

The 8.5-9m started when that win streak started

The conversation about stone was the fact that skinner is not the same player (2 way)
That’s where that started

Just saying
- gerbe75pts

yeah but I was saying it in december when most said they were not even talking yet


so..............................



suck it gerbe

I haven't gone yet. My movie partner son drove his Mustang down a 360 ft. ravine and broke his foot. Egads.

I really want them to go get Kadri. I think he would be a fantastic #2 center for us.

Who cares who called what. Anybody could have guessed the $9 part...hell I did too but didn't post it. OK so you and 89 (and a lot of people I know) guessed it - a fairly easy thing to surmise, so congrats,"well done". What bugs me though is when you guys say "I called it back in ,.,..." or "I told you guys that months ago". Real humble there guys. You're always doing that, and it just comes off as, I dunno, douche-y ? So thank you for all the rumors throughout the years, but try to more humble about it. Others will always compliment you on it and remind everyone else - they always do - so no need to pat yourselves on the back.

Just some constructive, slightly insulting criticism, don't take it too harshly. Or do, I don't give a phuk.

Thank you
- Buffalo39

I give you poop 39, because sometimes you're a Richard, but, ya got this one.

apples to oranges

Evolving Wild had Skinner's value at 8.7x8. They value Marner at 9.8. I'd be pretty damn impressed if he came in under 10.

Enough with credit sh!t around here.

39, you have called a couple! Homie/89 been around since day 1 around here.

But now let’s get another Hall, Duchene........

Montour acquisition makes 55 expendable

Ristolainen for Huburdeu, Zucker (type of deal)

Next 1/2 sandpaper guys! Toughness

Goaltending?

Exciting couple weeks coming up

Are you really just 5, seems like it.

Check his stats.
We saw real time what his stats reflect...over the past 5 years, he is Top 5 in scoring either game-winning or Game-tying goals.
Over past 3 seasons, Top 3 scoring at Even strength.
Does NOT play a ton on PP, nor out there for empty-netters to pad stats.

Grow up asshat.

I assume the hate flows like Niagara Falls. If it was 1M less, there'd be no gripes. Overpayment>No payment
