His expectations were similar. We traded up in the first to draft him to fill a similar role in a similar scheme as Luke, but he has had nowhere near that type of impact.

The problem is that he will always be compared to Luke Kuechley. Luke was a stud as a rookie and improved from there.

I’m assuming this was posted in an alcohol induced stupor in post Bills depression

NFW. That’s a big long term contract. Now if they’ll take Skinner straight up then it’s a deal.

I do love your unbridled optimism 🙏

Unfortunately, no one is touching that contract.

No way I’m going with an inexperienced head coach. It’s bad enough we have a GM who doesn’t know what he’s doing.

Do people think Staal has been effective? So far he doesn’t look like the answer at 2C to me.

We need to trade for a goalie ASAP

He’s a young Art Garfunkel

No kidding, I wish we had Torts or Mike Keenan as our coach.

I'm hoping he offered up Skinner and and an add and salary reention for PLD.

Well GAIU, I'm sensing a bit of negativity. Unfortunately, Mitts, R2, Quinn and Cozens all need more time to develop. They could all use a full year in Rochester. Botteril rushed Mitts to the Sabres way before he was ready and the consequences were dire. Losing Kahun was a critical error by KA and not improving the goaltending. I am optimistic we will be improved but RK must figure out a way to get some production out of Skinner.

I didn’t think it was possible, but Skinner got demoted. Maybe he ends up on taxi squad.

I remember him discussing Staal as being highly preferred to Strome before others we’re really considering Staal as a realistic option to come here.
