Debo Samuel?

How are we gonna afford to pay him & Diggs close to a combined $50mil per season??

Oh, so we can talk about asset allocations and managing cap in regards to the Bills but I can’t shine the light on a soon to be depreciating asset that will be a sunk cost when the Sabres are going to be in their sweet spot ?

The irony

Does it matter if he is overpaid? He is already paid - we might just want to try to get the best version of him that we can. I would have thought that we would have all been tickled pink that he was himself again, but alas....

I am happy Skinner is scoring again
I’m not the one bashing him

You aren’t talking about it
You’re HARPING on it DAY AFTER DAY

We all get it,

Homie brought it up yesterday, the discourse today started by my response to Wetbandit’s post.

This really has been something recurring here quite frequently
And while u may not always be the one to bring it up, you do often

We all agree Skinner is overpaid
Idk what more u want us all to say?

I'm so surprised Skinner is good again. Trade him now, maybe get Erik Karlsson with salary retained

Cost that didn’t have to be paid.

10% of UFA’s are worth their deals, yet the Sabres are dumb enough to keep handing out big money on July 1st year after year and it gets us where exactly ?

Yeah it’s not like we had to listen to you moan about the ROR trade for two years, yet we ended up with a 24 year old top 6 Center while ROR is falling off a cliff in St.Louis.

Ehrhoff, Moulson, Leino, Okposo (until this year), and Jeff Skinner.

So, wait, those players were on the team that led them to tanking and getting elite talent. Where's the problem? You love tanking.

Doesn’t mean they were good free agent signings.

Look at every cup contender and tell me how many of them don’t have one if not multiple home grown top 5 picks on their roster ?

I seriously don’t understand the argument here

We’d all choose not to sign him if we had a time machine.

The Bills were at the cap to start FA and managed to sign Miller.

Good teams figure things out.

Jeff Skinner being here doesn’t prevent us from getting good first

Do 2 wrongs make a right?


Also….
I didn’t moan about the trade for 2 years
And this is now the 3rd season after we signed Skinner
How long are you gonna go on about this for?

Do u just NEED to hear you were right?
Ok, you were right
Can we PLEASE just drop it now???

Good teams also have to trade Tyreek Hill to retool because the salary cap is not a myth everyone makes it out to be.

Although the NFL cap can be much more manipulated than the NHL salary cap.

If Skinner volunteers to take a crow bar to the knee and sit on LTIR for 2 months then maybe I’ll sing a different tune

But he's ahead of the game!
- Wetbandit1

Ironically I cried to the masses to let him walk to UFA before he signed the deal.

Also heard for the past few years about how ROR wasn’t going to hit the wall with his style of play once he got on the wrong side of 30 and here we are

For what reason? We’re three freaking years away from worrying about the salary cap.

He will have two years left. The cap will rise, he will be traded or bought out. The sun will rise again.

He’s got 33 goals man, not the 7 he had last year

You’re the smartest poster here
Happy now?

U seem to be looking for some sort of validation
I hope this is enough for you

Are we sure about that ?

Cap hardly rose during Covid and we are a sneeze and fart away from a Global Recession if they keep hiking interest rates like they claim they are going to

Having fun playing ookie cookie tonight?

Skinner is 2 million overpaid That’s not a big deal when we barely hit the salary cap minimum.

Cap is going to also eventually go up again.


So stressing about skinners deal is pointless
