What team will take him at a full $9M cap hit ?

And why would they get rid of Skinner ? He’s been doing his best Okposo impression for 2 months now.

Injured or not, he will be 32 at the start of next season and his underlyings were down even before the injury.

I was more speaking to the fact that they'll never retain celery because they're cheap. He still has 19 goals in 52 games despite being injured for like 30 of them

What would you do at C next season?
- Lunaion

Probably :
Tage
Cozens
Mitts
Krebs

Maybe find a new former head coach, who has a mustache and lives in Clarence ny.

Have that gentleman coach these guys better than the current coach .

That’s a fairly strong position of power for the Sabres imo , center depth

I think he meant C of the team, not the C position.

I'll provide my answer - - -
The real one isn't on the roster yet...and given the existing GM, he won't be acquired either.
They should just ride C-less until a new regime takes over.

I think it’s dahlin 100%.

He’s already wearing the “A”, he’s got benson living in his basement ……. He’s the next Buffalo Sabres captain.

I would love to see the trade you’ve been mentioning, outside the organization type.

That doesn’t seem like an Adams move. Maybe if he’s fired, the new gm can put his signature on the franchise

I'd probably do the same. It's not nice (so probably not KA's style), but make Krebs play 4C again. He's cheaper than a signing a good 4C and I don't think his trade value is that high anymore.

Worry about it the next year. Ostlund should be in the lineup then (or before).

Meant Center. Don't think Captain is an important decision and it's 99% Dahlin anyways.

I think you made a good point the other day with Krebs vs. his perceived 2nd round value (imo)

Much rather have the nhl player and Krebs could continue to grow and actually add some skill to the log line

This is easy! just traded Eric Johnson to Florida 50% retained for Josh Mahura and a 2024 4th

Sorry Rat, actually I just accepted it. Came from a Panthers fan.

Same here. Get the feeling they keep promising a better opportunity, so not sure how that goes. Not going to be a fun contract negotiation for them.

My bad.

It’s think it’s a 2 way street though

Better opportunity vs production on the ice

3 goals is hard to stand behind in a contract standoff

I'm sure you can imagine his side. Former 1st, played well as a 4C, probably getting strung along with promises of better opportunities....then a 2x1.6m contract offer and possibly the same treatment again next season.

Krebs getting the Mitts bridge and following in his career trajectory.

I'd project 2 years and a notch lower on salary.

Why would they get rid of Skinner? And retain? lol They have roughly a billion dollars in cap space.

Krebs has 3 points in his last 15 games, really earning that paycheck.
- Wetbandit1

I am very good with the blaster/lightsaber combo.

- Lunaion

Although I agree, Krebs put himself in this position.

Contract year, underperforming statistically

Stats get you paid $

I’m ok with 2 years 3 million ish , until he proves to be a steady log liner

Girgs and Okposo have proved you don’t have to be good to get paid, poop Girgs got a raise after sucking for years.

Girgs got a 1 yr 1.15m bridge off his ELC, then [email protected], and he was an all star.

Once I got it I didn't use anything else

Trade 1: Sabres acquire Tommy Novak from the Nashville Predators in exchange for a 2024 second-round pick and Isak Rosen

Krebs put himself on the 4th line? If you were stuck with Okpsos and girgensons. Your stats would suck too.

Also. Krebs was playing great last game and got benched for literally no reason.

Donny can go and be shown the door. But he won’t

What is your obsession with Brady Tkachuk?

Much better fake offer than the other day where you gave away half our roster

Half our Roster! Sure. Well atleast they were for 2 players better than the ones I gave up. I don't have a obsession, I like to have fun and try and make our Joke of a Franchise better. While people like you thought 1 year contracts to all the supposed leadership didn't matter.
