Brawndo Posted August 2, 2018 Report Share Posted August 2, 2018 Wait what? The Buffalo Sabres have acquired forward Jeff Skinner from the Carolina Hurricanes in exchange for forward Cliff Pu, a second-round pick in the 2019 NHL Draft, a third-round pick in the 2020 NHL Draft and a sixth-round pick in the 2020 NHL Draft.

darksabre Posted August 2, 2018 Report Share Posted August 2, 2018 Not a big Skinner fan, but he'll be a better fit than Kane and the price we paid seems like we got a good deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Buffalo Posted August 2, 2018 Report Share Posted August 2, 2018 Pu will fit right in, number 1 pork producing state in the nation, also biggest pig shiite problem too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorny Posted August 2, 2018 Report Share Posted August 2, 2018 (edited) Holy crap. What a get from Botterill. I'm still unsure about the D, but the top 6 is looking LEGIT. This came out of nowhere, so, it's not easy to assume no defensive moves or others could be on the way, you never know.

Taro T Posted August 2, 2018 Report Share Posted August 2, 2018 So, assuming he's the 1st line LW, guessing that Sheary is 2nd. Guess LW is no longer a major liability.

apuszczalowski Posted August 2, 2018 Report Share Posted August 2, 2018 Not surprised, Pu played in the OHL, and we know JBots thoughts on those players......?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoss Posted August 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2018 Just now, LGR4GM said: What's Skinners contract like? Expires after this season. He had a full no-movement clause, so he had to approve this one. Hope that's an indication a contract will be next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorny Posted August 2, 2018 Report Share Posted August 2, 2018 Just now, LGR4GM said: What's Skinners contract like? 1 year left at 5.75 mil. Have to imagine they are looking to re-up him as soon as this summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfreeman Posted August 2, 2018 Report Share Posted August 2, 2018 I like it, although they dropped a Pu for someone who is likely a 1-year rental (Skinner is a UFA after this year). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExWNYer Posted August 2, 2018 Report Share Posted August 2, 2018 The Sabres have plenty of picks. Getting an established Skinner for the possible potential of Pu and a few picks that are likely not to amount to much is a very good get, IMO. It's time for this team to start moving forward instead of perpetually waiting until next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
