What’s up is he’s the worst contract in the league and he stinks so they’re benching him.

I'd say 2nd worst to EK65...

Whats up.

the Sabres have a terrible head coach. EVery single player is regressing under him.

Cody Eakin had the most ice time last game. Yea you read that right.

not Eichel, not Hall, not Skinner not Staal

Cody Eakin and Kyle Franking Okposo.

Someone please shoot me.

I think Skinner is being traded for Sam Bennett. A high ranking league executive just texted me. Burkey and Hexy have been known to visit Hockey Buzz from time to time. Maybe they know something? Guys?

Bennett just scored against the mighty Leafs. He’s now off the board.

Skinner will be in Seattle this time next year. Between here and then is anyone's guess.
- 3rd GM's the charm


I don't think Seattle will bail the sabres out. Sure Vegas took some contracts on, but nothing like this. His contract is long, that even if you are planning to suck for a couple of years, it will still impact you down the road. Plus the economic future of the league isn't as good as it was when Vegas came in. I hightly doubt the new owner wants to take on $50 million plus in dead salary.

Anyone watch Ted Lasso? Reminded me of Krueger, except Krueger can’t motivate his players. The premise about not knowing a thing about the sport your coaching is spot on though. Makes Ralphy simply a tool.

Sure, bench Skinner and leave Rieder, Okposo, Or Eakin in lineup. Brilliant fing coach we got here!

Everyone blames the players, however, the Sabres have a lot of good players that are not motivated. Krueger is a great talker and bull shipper, but he is terrible coach. He has proven that year after year. He needs to go now so the team has time to salvage the season.

He sits skinner yet plays Eakin tons of minutes. Eakin is rated the worst forward in the league and shockingly was on the ice for all 3 goals against tonight. Well spent 2.25m!

Eichels has checked out. Different sport but if Eichel had 10% of the heart Josh Allen does the team would be respectable.

Curtis Lazard has more goals than Eichel, skinner, Hall and Okposo combined. That’s $33 million in salary

And We have teo average AHL goalies playing in the NHL

Good times in Buffalo

I hate this team. What a bunch of crevices. I thought Hall was suppose to have speed and power in his stride? I think his agility is broken. Eichel looks like Bambi on skates and I think Dumblean, well, can’t process the game fast enough to be effective.

Eikel is a spoiled rotten brat that throws tantrums every time things don't go his way. He should NEVER have been made the captain of the team. He has given up so the team has given up. Again, it is time for a new coach who understands which players should be on certain lines and those that have chemistry. In addition, a coach that can make players better not worse.

I actually checked that Curtis Lazar thing because I assumed it was a joke. That is freaking UNREAL!!

What a garbage dump that team is. Wow. What do you even do there?? Trading Eichel seems ridiculous, but how many years in a row has BUF been complete trash? At some point, you’ve gotta do something. Firing the GM and coach for the tenth time isn’t gonna have much impact anymore

Eichel to NSH for Johansen and Ellis

Skinner plays along Jack Eichel gets 40 goals SIGN SKINNER!!! SIGN SKINNER!!! Next season plays with Marcus Johansson gets 14 UGH SKINNER!!! UGH SKINNER!!! This season plays with Curtis Lazar get 0 goals and benched Where's Skinner??? Where's Skinner???
Now Jack is looking lazy and gives the puck up constantly (i counted 7 giveaways by him tonight 2/22) so reunite Jack with Jeff because misery loves company and if it's worth ruining Olof's career throw him on right wing if not Kyle Okposo (Victor is so worth more than those 2 right now)
