Skinner had 17 more goals this season, and it was a down season for Skinner.

Not a remotely accurate comparison.

They are the same player.

Lack hustle, disinterested until they score, never made the playoffs. They are a negative for the team. In addition, wrong side of 30. Can't count on a back check or working hard in the corners. I find him to be a waste of cap and a roster spot.

Wait, are you saying Skinner and Olofsson are the same?

What needs to happen to change the narrative that Buffalo is a bad place to play hockey?

Does anyone think hiring Ruff (in the fashion he was hired) honestly changes the mind of agents/players?

- washedup20


Great questions.
Yes, yes I do believe that Lindy's hiring will have an impact as it sends awasage that the Org is getting more serious.

It is a stepping stone that the Org can build off of.

A trade of significance is also required, followed by smart FA signing early, like 12:01am on 7/01.

Botterill really bent over and took it up the tailpipe on the structure of Skinner's deal.

The inversion of salary from start to finish is why his contract has been called buyout proof.

- kingcong39


Yeah, that year 3 is just so distasteful. You're probably right.

I’ve always been kind of fascinated with curling since watching as a youngin in Buffalo.
Went down to public rink at the Panthers new training facility checked it out.

Right! It should be about as entertaining as watching grass grow, but the broom action is oddly satisfying and overtly sexual.

All great answers regarding Ruff's impact on the brand of the current Sabres.

The old trickle down from Toronto approach is actually smart. Opens the doors to significantly more options.

Kulich is worthless. That dog has no fight in him.

Stillman and Clague(both who are missing to injury) as decent #7 call ups if needed. The rest of the roster is a total throwaway(Sans Goalie). Their only hope is that 5 foot 9 Savioe is somehow much better than his size. But I doubt it.

That's a decent looking top6 IMO. Dumba leaves some to be desired, but he certainly turned it around this year in the desert. Is Clifton the better one to move?
- QuinnFan


Dumba is dog sh!t

Turned what around? The worst stats in his career this year. Did nothing for Tampa in the playoffs.

Yes, by virtue they are one dimensional. In fact, the entire Sabres team may be one dimensional. VO was pushed out, I do believe Skinner should be as well.

No risk signing - He could either realize this is his last chance and live up to his abilities or continue acting like a clown and get cut. Could be the perfect Gabe Davis replacement - size, faster, only potential true X receiver on our roster.

If the kid has figured it out, he's a Nice target and was a willing Blocker. Bills are changing there Offense to meet some of Brady's Idea's.

100% correct - philosophical change to more physical size. If Claypool can get things straightened out, and is our #4 receiver we'd have 4 of our top 6 receivers at 6'3", 6'4", 6'5", 6'5" - no more smurf wr group

Loved him his first year or 2. Then you see the person and player they are. Hes an idiot.
