If I were him, looking at the situation in Carolina, their rebuild process compared to Buffalo's and what players were on the roster, I'd waive to go to the Sabres as well. Again, in case you missed it, I think Skinner is a GREAT FIT IN BUFFALO! Everything seems right. Roster, timing, cap space, linemates, proximity to home...probably a bunch of other things I am overlooking. So should be a slam dunk re-sign. Therefore, you and the rest of the Buffalo faithful should have no worries where he ends up, right? But that is not the world we live in. While I think Skinner would be a fantastic fit in Buffalo long term.... HE has to think so, as well as the team's ability to maintain a winner. And if some other team offers similar, though obviously not as close to "home", but with a BETTER chance at winning plus the big bucks? Then I say he goes to that other team.

Well, I realize I am now a dried out fruit over 30, but I'm not gonna lie....I'd rather play with Alex Tuch or Jason Garrison... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not see another owner committing to the level that Pegula has lately. They got Eichel, Dahlin, Risto and Middlestadt. If that is not the basis for a winner I do not know what is? I mean on a young team. I am thinking Botterill might make a splash this year in FA to try and make the Sabres better right now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
