Not just a center a C that can win face offs. I know theres the joke that it doesnt matter but WTF our two best are Eichel and Larson at 47.4 ant 47.2.
Thats not good enough and not even close to being so.

Tony Romo is going to make more money as a broadcaster than he did as a quarterback.

http://www.nfl.com/news/s...bs-for-about-17m-annually

Sabres should honestly shutdown Eichel and olofsson for the year

During the worst goal drought of his career, playing with very bad line mates, Jeff Skinner at 5 on 5 is 37th in the league in goals/60.

Higher than

Draisaitl
Connor
McDavid
Eichel
Svechnikov
MacKinnon

And others.

The coach purposely buried him this year, and the GM gave him 0 help.

Can you imagine if they didn't re-sign Skinner? I get he isn't helping the team (he's not completely to blame for this,) but holy cow, he just scored 40 goals. The city would've burned if he would've walked. They needed to do it. Hopefully he comes around next year.

late

Exactly... There was talent to be had at the deadline and Botts choked big time..... He is a coward..... As the great Ronaldus Magnus once said... "The future is not for the faint at heart".....

You watch these games on TV, sure your an expert.

Put your application in for GM

I would’ve personally rioted.

Exactly. Never should of been signed to that. Should of been traded last deadline.

Unpopular opinion, Reinhart should also be traded this offseason. Will never win a cup with him making 7 million plus.

Didnt skinner get injured badly just prior to the trade deadline? Maybe a game or 2 before? Ankle?

if skinner was on the first team pp, he probably still gets 25 goals this season despite being hurt and poorly used by head coach

I'm not taking the bait 🙂

I do agree with giving eichel some maintenance games off, preferably on the road.

My guess is eichel really wants 40 goals and/or 100 points. Maybe once the goals are no longer realistic?

The Jaguars are aware I no longer have interest in signing a long term contract in Jacksonville. Duval, I love you and gave you guys everything I got. I’m thankful for the journey and look forward to continuing my career elsewhere. -91

The Sabres absolutely needed to re-sign Skinner. Skinner also needs to produce much more than he is now, regardless of who is put on a line with. The two aren't mutually exclusive.

Shooting % only includes shots that actually hit the right?

Frequent Shots that hit the glass and even the zamboni door, aren't taken into account right?

Which is bound to regress. I do find it convenient though that when Jack goes on a 4 game point less drought Sam is nowhere to be found.

Skinner is not Jack, leon, McDavid, Ovie.... HE CANT drive play. he needs better players around him to produce.

I want him to produce more too, but he needs help.

You’re right, and everyone billionaire got where they are today but agreeing with the majority and not taking risks or avoiding the status quo ?

The way I see it, in most cases, if you’re in an agreement with the majority then most likely you need to change your opinion.

That’s why business value diversity. Botts absolutely signed Skinner because he knew that 80% of this fan base would lose its mind and how is that working out ?

This is a guy you spend money to sign... Would do wonders for the defense

- hehateme

Then why give him an 8 year contract ?

We could of traded for Ennis, Athanasiou, Zucker, Burakovsky, Namnitsnikov who can produce those same numbers for a fraction of the cost.

Will they produce as many chances as Skinner ? Absolutely not, but last time I checked the score shows the goals that went into the net not the ones that were directed towards it.
