  1. It'll screw their cap hit up in 2026-27 but I don't know if they can afford to keep him around for 5 more seasons after this one.
  2. I'm with you. I think he's toast. He should have bounced back last year if it was going to happen at all. I think that ankle injury ruined him.
  3. I don't think his skating looks good at all. He's constantly getting knocked down and he doesn't seem nearly as agile as in the past. Either he's unable to skate like he used to or it's in his head.
  4. The problem becomes what to do about it. If Skinner is injured so badly he basically can't play at the level he was when he signed the contract what do you do with him?
  5. None of us thought he was coming back into that game. He yelled like he broke his leg. It looked horrible in real time.
  6. I want to point to one specific thing that has been prescient, which is that his play fell off a cliff after he rolled his ankle against the Capitals on February, 23 2019. A lot of us were there that night because it was the Sabrespace Meetup Game. If you look at his game log he literally hasn't been the same since that night. Something happened.
  7. I don't see that at all with Jeff. By all accounts he's a team player and well liked. People criticized Jack for being lazy when it was very clear that he was willing but unable, and I see the same thing here. Skinner is trying, but he just doesn't seem to have that extra gear anymore. Maybe he just needs a few games to get going, but I admit that I'm worried.
  8. Pretty good third period. Jeff Skinner might be washed.
  9. I gotta give Okposo credit, he doesn't really have much game left anymore but he plays with that stubborn old guy strength compared to the kids.
  10. Alright unless the Sabres get something going off the bat here I'm out
  11. This is some boring hockey Nice garbage goal lol
  12. I don't know what the Sabres record is for regular season goals against but I'm expecting they might break it this year lol
  13. The same content has already been discussed here, so there's nothing new to be read.
  14. His positioning seems good but he's definitely not NHL ready.
  15. Great article wherein Mike Harrington comes up short in his analysis, well surpassed by members of this forum.
  16. That arena is awesome inside btw. It makes ours look like a college rink.
