I don't hate him as an overpaid 4th liner

just not eating all of that cap on skinner and throwing in joker for him though

people are acting like skiner was 292nd in goals over the last 3 seasons, not 43rd

- homiedclown


It gets back to 2 points:
-Teams aren't lining up for him even at $6.5 -$7.00
- he has total control and Leafs are probably the only place he would waive to
- Bonus Pt: Next season his contract becomes more difficult to absorb and limits their ability to upgrade in other areas.

Skinner would clear waivers. Think that's always a fair reality check of someone's contract value.
- Lunaion

I would never make that assumption with a few of these franchises out there

if adams is paying money for guys like comrie, robinson, jost, e johnson, girgens, okposo, etc

I probably want it to be difficult for him to add more crap to the roster

I will take the 43rd best goal scorer over the last 3 years vs that steamy mess

This should be asked frequently. Would be a perfect add for us.

ok

remove the 16 empty netters scored while he was trying to tie it up and the 5 short handed goals allowed when he was on the ice

whoopty do

no problems when eichel was a -25 for the sabres though

- homiedclown


Brady Tkachuk was a -10, Debriancant was a -31.

The underlyings back it up that the Cat was a tire fire that year.

Great win move now for Ottawa. There is an alternate reality where Dorion keeps both picks moved in the Cat and Chychrun deals instead of spending like a drunken sailer and both Savoie and Benson are Senators right now.

I expect quinn or peterka to be traded with the other being signed long term

I expect 6 k to walk in 2 years and levi to be the goalie

I expect prospects to be devalued due to lack of top 9 roles

I expect zero playoff series wins over the next 2 years and still being distant 5th at best team in the division

I do not expect benson to be a 50 point player in either 24-25 or 25-26

He was about a break even XG% player and he scored almost 30 goals.

Sometimes you guys are just bat poop hyperbolic.

Cat was better this year, yeah. A tire fire or "horrible" last year? Lol

When you have to fit 3 standard deviations on an RAPM chart to show how badly he got outchanced at even strength that year in Ottawa and the result was a -31.

Yes it applies.

Benson had more even strength points per 60 this year playing 3rd line TOI with this Kreuger ass system Donnie reverted to this season then Debrincant had in his season in Ottawa.

one had 27 goals and stinks

The infatuation you have with Benson being 18, while being gifted a roster spot by the incompetent GM is the cherry on top of your dog poop Adams loving sundae.

I think he's got 40 easy but I need to see what the roster looks like first, and his role within it. If he's banned from the powerplay, 50 could be tough.

Oh please if they had sent Benson down after the preseason he had everyone would have wrung Adam’s neck.

The fact that Quinn got injured a second time wasn’t Adam’s fault.

Benson had a ~53 xgf% this year and was probably the best option you could have had as a 3rd line winger this season without even considering his age

A fool would double down on linear progression for Sabres players. How much are you willing to bet on this?

he got the spot due to a clueless gm and at the end of the year

he was noticed less than a fly in a meth lab

he will fit right in here though

his production from late december to early march was on par with an orange pylon (2 goals and 3 assists in 30 games)

maybe if he scored 1 or 2 points in Jan, we could have had a few post season games

What are their individual burglary skillz looking like? 11OA is the steal of the draft, I'm talking 5 finger discount!
