    30 goals? We don’t need no 30 stinking goals. 

    25 of the last 31 games have been decided by 3 goals or less.  In those 25 games , Jeff Skinner has 3 goals and 4 assists.   
    he might score but not when it matters 

    If he isn't scoring he brings absolutely nothing to team.    Make a statement and buy him out.

    I’m sure we’d see fresh, new kids in those roster spots if they become available.

    That does worry me but I just have to believe that at least 2 if not all 3 holes are plugged by vets.  They just cannot afford to get younger 

    another year in AHL for Kulich and Savoie is probably best for everyone.   Though both could be used as injury callups and hopefully ready to fill in at and play at a high level

    He will STILL be here next year; can't afford to move on from him next season.

    The year after that, things look much better.  I say he's gone after 2024/2025 season.

    The guy just refused to play defensively responsible hockey, and isn't enough of a mega sniper to get away with that.

     

     

     

     

     

    I would argue that they can't afford to have him hear next year.    But if they do keep him , he is the 13th forward

    They need to move on from some big names. Power would be a start.  Any or all of Dahlin, Thompson and Cozens should be available to anyone asking.  I’d trade Skinner to wherever he wants.  I don’t care if you have to give away 4 1sts to make it happen. Get that loser off this team. 

    Before you start with major surgery, wouldn't you want to see what a real coach can do?  Yes, changes need to be made-  Need more physicality among the bottom

    but when you start to analyze the issues of this team, it really comes down to poor starts (coaching) and poor PP (again with the talent on the roster I blame coaching )

    If you buy Skinner out now (2024), the cap ramifications are the following:

    2024-25 $1,444,445

    2025-26 $4,444,445

    2026-27 $6,444,445

    2027-28 $2,444,445

    2028-29  $2,444,445

    2029-30  $2,444,445

    If you buyout Skinner in 2025:

    2025-26 $4,000,000

    2026-27 $6,000,000

    2027-28 $2,000,000

    2028-29 2,000,000

    That $6 mill in 26-27 will hurt 

    but maybe it's worth the message it will send to the rest of the team?   Either that or you give him the Olofsson treatment for the next few years

    I’d say 13 years of suckitude and zero playoffs greatly trumps anything else 

    I don't think so.  There are other franchises in pro sports that go a long time between playoff appearances.   Wasn't that long ago the Bills were at 17 or 18

    is there anyother stadium anywhere that gets filled by 80% of the oppositions fans in what's considered a rivalry??! 

  7. The nice thing about this draft is that it is way more top heavy with dmen.  Maybe just maybe a guy like Lindstom drops a bit as teams try to draft a potential top 4 dman 

    still seems unlikely though
