‘The top priority is to get leading goalscorer, Jeff Skinner, to stick around on a deal that doesn’t put the Sabres in a bad spot. The Sabres can not overpay him as he has shown how he can be a streaky player — only netting four goals after the March 1 trade deadline when he saw a lot of his time no longer on Jack Eichel’s wing, proving that Eichel was more the driving force behind his career high in goals being achieved.’

‘For me, pre-tank Sabres teams were missing players in the #elite category, and it’d be worth it to go get one of those. The Sabres did. I guess I (we, whoever here) overestimated how long it would take the Sabres to get back to just having a bunch of guys that were woefully flawed, but good enough to finish… seventh. It’s taken approximately four years longer than it should have, and it’s mind-numbingly frustrating.’
