His numbers the last two years look rough
- ieetbred

They do, just watching the Stars and watched him and thought , maybe cheap but he is old. Tuuris? but he makes 6 a year and has maybe 4 years or so left.

I'll be back in Buffalo end of August or September and we can meet up and see how much of a keyboard tough guy you actually are.

Id like to see them make a run at a C in FA, theres a few quality ones. I think brock nelson would be an interesting target and he shouldnt break the bank.

If they cant sign skinner they need to try for duchene

Setback is being nice about it

It would mean losing two top line wingers in less than two calendar years

IMO Skinner should be priority 1 even before they hire a coach, going to be pretty hard to get Duchene to sign here IMO.

Wasn't there a tweet that the Sabres won't be interviewing him for the job?

Something about he and Lindy won't be considered

I could be wrong

- jcragcrumple


Taylor said himself that he wasn't being considered

Where was Matthews for that kill at the end ?

Only Marner

- gerbe75pts


Marner isn’t a good defensive player He’s only on the first PK unit and on the ice against the Bergeron line the whole game with Tavares becuase they want to be scored on.

Do you sign him at whatever the cost or let him walk after a certain point with oloffson knocking on the door and a handful of proven scorers that are UFA

They could try and replace his scoring by committee, and it might make the team better

I do like skinner and want him resigned, but he is one dimensional and his contract should align with that

It’s been crickets since McLellan. I’m surprised not even the slightest of news has come out regarding any potential target.

I don't think we can afford to lose him and as far as his contract goes, the contract Stone signed is what his agent will go off of , Tyler Seguin 9.85 for 8 years. Skinner is what 26 ? should be 9 if not damn close. We don't have a 40 goal scorer on this team, sets the team back without Skinner. Lot of players are 1 denominational and make big money.

Nope nothing, McLellan, AV and Jacques Martin is what I heard and i'm sticking by that. 2 gone unfortunately but never know what's next I guess.

I never imagined you as grossly fat.

But I don’t judge if you are.

you need to stop with that because he is worth that money and will get it or close to it. Just the way the NHL works. 3 or 4 teams will pay him.

What's better for this team in the next three years:

Skinner at $8.5

Or

Sheary/Olofsson at 1LW

I'll take your answer off the air
