I would agree with all of this. Wish Dahlin had a few more goals, but he's getting his points.

Love me some Joker. Solid AF. And only 20! 😲

Dahlin and Joker. Two reasons for optimism on the back end. Montour could be somebody, but he’s about to get paid this offseason. and we all know here, with money comes dramatically ramped-up expectations. I wish him luck in living up to them.

if I were miller and skinner, I would ask to get the F@ck out of Buffalo


Kruger is literally ruining their careers by every passing game

It worked for Bogosian he gets to play with Dahlin

I can’t believe they played him a single game after his request.

Miller is eons better and Bogo’s “skills” were on display last night

I can’t even figure out what he’s trying to say there.

Krueger has refused to put Skinner with Eichel because he knows Skinner is the only one besides Eichel who can produce offensively without being babysat. He’s said so himself.

I cannot believe we’re worried about him of all the issues with the Sabres

It’s typical of certain people though
- sbroads24

This isn't surprising

Keep on throwing the excuses to poor Jeffy

If he makes one good play a game we fall off our seats and write on hockeybuzz "see if he only had a center he would do that ALL the time." He is being stifled by the coach, his linemates, and haters!! Poor Jeffy. everyone is against him except the devoted Jeffy fans!!

We literally ALL admit he’s overpaid you giant dunce cap
- sbroads24

It's even more ridiculous to pay Skinner $9 million if the plan was to take him off Eichel's wing- they set him up to underwhelm and they set themselves up to look stupid, both are of which are apparent

Saying Skinner is a 40 goal scorer when he has averaged up until and including his 40 goal season is 27.1 goals a year is like saying Drew Stafford was true 30 goal scorer that he netted in his contract year too.

He is scoring at a few goals below his career average this season not the high point of his career where his shooting percentage was impossible to maintain and we saw that when he hit a wall in the last 25 games of the year.

Some Sabres fans are like abused spouses who stand by their abusing spouses no matter what, for the kids, because they see the spouse as who they used to be, as who they think they need instead of being alone. Sabres fans stand by certain players no matter what too. Throw every excuse possible to give cover to them when reality is they are who they are.

I don’t use excuses, I use facts. Skinner has been good this season. Not great. Good. While in the midst of a slump.

Skinner would absolutely have more of your precious points if his line mates were players who actually get points. You see how that works right?

Is Vlad Sobotka supposed to suddenly score 20 goals so that Skinner can rack up the assists? How about Evan Rodrigues or Johan Larsson, both of whom have never score 10 goals or 30 points. It’s on Skinner to turn them into those guys?

I’m perfectly fine with what Skinner is.

You’re the one who’s obviously angry over it

You are a very angry individual.

I just am so sick of the wimpy excuses repeatedly given out for an underachieving player. Sabres fans used to be considered some of the most intelligent in the league years ago but now, it's an embarrassment. Do you think Jeffy would get this love for this kind of contract and production on a Toronto, Philly, Boston, Montreal board? This is so small town.

The hate for Risto was never-ending but I am sure you agreed so the people who posted were Santa Clause to you, kind as could be.

The truth is not mean it is just true.

The coach recognizes that Skinner is the only other guy who can generate offense, so he wants to have more than one line.

Problem is he should also move Sam to that line

Skinner played with Eichel last year and only had 23 assists. He’s a one dimensional offensive player unless the shot goes off Larry’s ass in the net for an assist.

For 9 million a year, and at a 40 point clip is that underachieving? His goals slightly below and points are below career averages. He wasn't making 9 million a year before, talk to JB if 9 million was worth that. Achievement for 9 payment = underachievement. Many here are black and white thinkers, not the brightest

23 assists is still good. It was the same as

Anders Lee
Kyle Palmieri
David Perron
Anthony Mantha
Brady Tkachuk.

You act like he’s Kaleta

Sam would probably be the set up guy Skinner needs.
Jack can make anyone look good in Sams place.
Not sure why this hasnt been tried yet.

Someone is triggered, how did you score in psychological maturity? I'm thinking less than straight A

Ok, this was fun to challenge the skinner humpers.

Next we can take on the most generic top 6 forward in the NHL, Sam Reinhart. Let's get it on!!
