is this a bit?

Nope. I would imagine that Skinner has negative value around the league with that contract, similiar to Okposo after he signed. We would prob need to add to even have someone take Skinner. So yes, I would trade him and his 9 million contract to age 35 to acquire someone who will cost half that at half the years and use that 5 million on someone else.

I just don't get how in good faith you can be pro-andserson in one breath, and anti-skinner in another breath

skinner had a monster year and has been bad this year and you despise him

anderson had a really good year and literally has 1 goal this year and you think hes "exactly what we need"
- robz228

When have I been anti skinner?

They needed to sign skinner. PERIOD.
I like skinner and think hes having a down year.

Doesnt mean I can't applaud flacco for looking correct in passing on the huge contract.

Your confused, I do not despise skinner.
It's the other guy that is fluffing his stats again this year to a big payday.

Anderson is not going to paid anywhere near 9 million.

decent chance anderson could be a good buy-low candidate for the third line but calling him a proven 25 goal scorer or top 6 forward is straight up laughable
- robz228

You are really beyond dumb.

Anderson has scored over 25 goals as a nhl player.
Last season:

Thus a PROVEN 25 GOAL SCORER.

Now you came up with some grand idea out of nowhere, that Anderson could be a buy low candidate.

When I wanted to trade for him, you told me i hated skinner and it was the same thing.

Anderson can absolutely be a buy low candidate but I would pump the breaks on calling him a proven 25 goal scorer. he hit 27 once every other season has been below 20.

Now can he potentially be a useful middle 6 guy, sure, why not....

That's an opinion that I disagree with.

Not factual nor does it have a factual bases.

You dont like Anderson. Ok
- Boss34

Never said I didn't like him, never. People over value players that are on good teams and think they will do the same here.

Does this mean Johnathan Cheechoo is a proven 50 goal scorer?

Its pretty funny, but homie and 89 are not joking.

Homie- Anderson will score less than girgs
89- Anderson sucks and wont to anything here.

You really are a fool at times, never said he sucks, never.

Same as saying Skinner is a proven 40 goal scorer. So yes

IMO Skinner is a proven 30 goal scorer with one 40 goal season, if he does it again, then I would call him a proven 40 goal guy, but I can see where you are coming from.

I'm only watching to check on the anthem chicks.

"You are fat and are gross."

I'm looking back at a team that didnt really have a number 1 center.

Dushane was a trade deadline move.

He scored 27 despite playing with foligno at center.

This is exactly who the Sabres need to be bringing in.
- Boss34

foligno was not their center

semantics, whats the point of the word "proven" if we are going to give it to someone who did it once, at that point "25 goal scorer" means the same thing as "proven 25 goal scorer"

i'm pretty sure everyone in their right mind would consider a "proven 25 goal scorer" someone who you can count on to do it every year

"trade for Anderson, sign him a 3 year bridge deal and watch him get 12 goals a season and girgens goes to blue jackets and gets 15 goals a season"

I said watch it happen, implying buffalo luck

Brierre Drury
a freaking playoff team.

During his years as GM, the Sabres drafted and developed such players as Maxim Afinogenov, Henrik Tallinder, Aleš Kotalík, Ryan Miller, Paul Gaustad, Derek Roy, Jason Pominville and Thomas Vanek. Regier also made important acquisitions, trading for Chris Drury, Tim Connolly, Daniel Brière and Jean-Pierre Dumont while maintaining a strict budget.

For 19 years and that is what we got? And besides 2 years the definition of mediocrity and a lot of misses in the draft led to the crash and rebuild. To each his own I guess and glorify their experiences growing up or something but it wasn't that great.

Except we’d pay him 2x his worth to replicate production he’ll never see again.

That team was built mainly before he got here, the most important piece, Hasek, was begotten by Muckler.
