you are not getting a 12 pack of a decent IPA with PBR money

Neither of those get you to the promise land. IPA's are overpriced, and the price is measured by the size of the man bun the customer has.

These are the names of guys who are worth +/- 500k of Jeff:

Adam Fox NYR 9,500,000
Charlie McAvoy 9,500,000
Mark Stone 9,500,000
Nikita Kucherov 9,500,000
Brayden Point 9,500,000
Andrei Vasilevskiy 9,500,000
Jamie Benn 9,500,000
Alex Ovechkin 9,500,000
Matthew Tkachuk 9,500,000
Darnell Nurse 9,250,000
Mikko Rantanen 9,250,000
Mathew Barzal 9,150,000
Roman Josi 9,059,000
Cale Makar 9,000,000
Jeff Skinner 9,000,000
Timo Meier 8,800,000
Alex Pietrangelo 8,800,000
Dylan Larkin 8,700,000
Sidney Crosby 8,700,000
Filip Forsberg 8,500,000
Bo Horvat NYI 8,500,000
Leon Draisaitl 8,500,000
Pierre-Luc Dubois 8,500,000
Mika Zibanejad 8,500,000
Steven Stamkos 8,500,000

Even just comparing forwards, for ease of comparison, almost every one of these guys are significantly better. Jamie Benn sucks, you can argue (I guess) about Horvat or Nurse, but that's about it. Again, this is no slight on Jeff's ability, it's a slight on his cap hit. We need to stop saying he's properly paid...he isn't.

You don’t know? It was right after Jeff Skinner stole all the land from Native Americans and took your daughter’s virginity at 14.

Skinner more like Hitler with all the people he’s gassed for their money.

I laugh every time someone whines about skinner. he's literally one of the last guys people should be complaining about.
- gordong


I saw a metric maybe a month ago now.

Even with his scoring he's a net negative player. Sabres just have to do a better job of not letting him touch the defensive end as much

35 to 40 goal scorers are not going to sign UFA deal for 6 mil per unless they are 35 years old

this is not 2008


plus it's not your money, or my money he is getting paid and our cheap ass gm is going to piss away 10 mil a year on crap players for our cap anyhow so it's not like the team is going to spend wisely to the cap ceiling

and we suck, and by sucking we need to overpay a mill or so to get a quality player to sign here

- homiedclown


Just off the top of my head, didn't all these guys do just that since Skinner signed:

Buchnevich
Kreider
Guentzel
Mangiapane

I'm sure there's more but Skinner is a 6-7M player tops. Personally, I would much rather invest that type of money on a 200ft forward than a one zone guy like Jeff but c'est la vie.

Again though, there aren't any forwards, besides Jamie Benn, who are making his type of money and aren't significantly better players overall. So the proof is in the puddin on this one.

benn scored 78 points last year

he , also , is not trash either

if scoring goals is so easy, why is it that only 13 players have ever scored 40 goals in a season for the sabres?

Who said it was easy?

Its silly to say Skinner isn't a liability on the ice more than not.

I like my Nissan Altima, it’s a good car and gets me from point A to point B.

Decent trunk space, can fit my kids car seat in the back.

I would not though, pay $100K for a Nissan Altima.

Would you ?

You do know Skinner has never made a playoffs right?

He's on a longer drought than this franchise.

He already has the longest career without playoffs, every game is making history.

Well that money is already spent so please keep going on about it.

And Jeff Skinner is a great back-checker and fore-checker. He might not be a 2-way or defensive forward but he draws penalties, scores goals and is fun to watch.

Unlike Krebs.

I’d take a 9m Skinner over a 1.5m Krebs everyday.
