I enjoyed this one too

“ Spezza is scoring at a 40 point pace playing under 11 minutes a night. He turns 37 this year and makes $700K”

We could have saved $8.3M for the next 7 years.

Good grief dude
Skinner is here for 7 more years
Let it go

McFaddens is a chain. It probably is a NYC Chapter of a Bills Backers bar.
- Hatboro_Swords


It’s not a chain

It is where the Bills backers met for all the Bills games & they had a deal worked out with McFaddens & Calico Jack’s next door
I heard Calico Jacks is closing or closed & the Bills backers are gonna move to a new spot next year

We do not score goals, special teams are of the utmost importance. The times we went on winning streaks this season, our special teams were at the forefront. If our PK was top 15 we’d be hovering around a playoff spot right now.

Dude this is only the beginning of the Skinner crusade, buckle your seat belts.

skunk on pace for career highs in goals and points


bust

You have to give up something to get something - even if he does quit once in awhile. You won't get a diamond for sh*t and we have a lot of that.

Reinhart + is the Pierre Turgeon trade of this era even though he couldn't sniff his jock strap. Shake it up, Sam, even though you've been here since 2014 I feel we hardly know ya. Center? No. Jack's wing man sure, can he play with himself?

This is confusing. Are you saying sign Spezza for 8 years and expect he’s a 40 point player into his mid-40’s, while Skinner, at 27 continues to have career low production?

Sounds...good?

- sbroads24


It’s a good thing Vesey didn’t start on Eichel’s wing. We saved $6M per year on his next deal.

Is it getting personal for you? What's it 16-17 games for our sniper without hitting the back of the net?

He'll come around, he's a 40 goal scorer or something.

Yeah, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt but he might get a bit tired and not seal the deal

Skinner will be just fine
If anything, YOU of all ppl should be thankful for his struggles this year so we can get another top10 pick

No, but he’s signed long term to a deal where we can’t trade him
So b!tching about him is utterly useless

Agreed
McFaddens was an outstanding spot to watch the Bills games though

Hopefully the new place will be too

The reason why our PK is so bad is the goaltending has been awful.

Special teams are a result of talent/coaching.

The organization should go into the offseason looking to improve the goaltending and second line. Not trying to improve the penalty kill

My dream off season for Bills:

1. Sign Jack Conklin
2. Draft big time OT. Wirfs from Iowa.
3. Trade back into first round for WR.

Id be fine with goin with WR first if right WR was available.

Skinner set up Lazar for a breakaway, shoots it wide. Sets up Rodrigues, shoots it wide.

He’s literally playing with two guys 20 teams would have in the AHL.

Krueger doesn’t like him. It’s obvious

Yeah, but that needs to be addressed some how. Whatever is going on isn’t right. It makes no sense to me what the problem is with Skinner. He always plays hard. He’s a good teammate. Last year Dubois asked who are u to Scott Wilson and Skinner told him to go take a look at the Stanley Cup. His name is on there twice.

I’ve seen your boy Jefferson fall to the 2nd in some mocks

1) sign stud UFA pass rusher
2) re-sign Phillips & Lawson
3) cut Murphy & Kroft, sign Greg Olsen
4) trade down with Indi for picks 34 & 44
*i think at least 1 of the 8 WRs that have a 1st round grade will fall to the 2nd
Pick Dobbins, RB from Ohio state (explosive playmaker)
Pick a WR who drops if they like him
Pick a LB to replace Alexander
*other R2 & R3 options could include OL, DB

Bills need to overhaul the O line. That has to be priority #1. You’re barely addressing it.

😂😂😂 Haven’t heard that before, awesome

The whole Skinner situation is weird
NO ONE would’ve put Skinner with MoJo & Sobotka on a line
I get the thinking in spreading out the scoring
But if you’re gonna do that,
at least put Sam at RW2
Eichel has proven he can produce with anyone

That was a nice moment in a year with very few of them.
