Getting no-experience back-ups now is going to help us. It’s important though to not be fooled into thinking, say, Rodrigues once he goes on a tear now can provide the forward depth we need for next season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness to Skinner, it's not his fault he got paid based on what he did with Jack and then...doesn't get to play with Jack. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said, the way Bahtrill handled the entire situation makes me actively mad. Skinner has also been mediocre, though, at this point. Just all around a disappointing situation. Maybe “scary” is a better word. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasn't been good, but he has a entire career of consistently only being a 20-goal scorer. And now he's playing with a middle-6 winger turned center, and a 4th line winger. The cratering was expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinner was averaging almost 30 though per year wasn’t he? He’s also not making up for it with assists or anything else. Perhaps his penalty drawing rate Edited February 1, 2020 by Thorny 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll give erod credit for one thing though, he actually managed to shoot from a high scoring area, which the Sabres are consistently bad at.

More than he's on pace for this year for sure, but he had several clunkers when not playing with talent. 1 minute ago, darksabre said: I'll give erod credit for one thing though, he actually managed to shoot from a high scoring area, which the Sabres are consistently bad at.

My favorite Sabre shot selection is the point shot into the shin pads that is so hard it ricochets back up the ice, over the blue line, and onto the stick of an opposing player who has cheated up ice and now has a breakaway.

And you don’t give 9 million dollar deals to 28 year olds unless you think they’ll produce RIGHT NOW, right? Which adds to the scariness, because Botterill’s talent evaluation told him JoHUNsson could provide an adequate C for him.

Is that really a low percentage spot on the ice to shoot from? Looked like the heart of the slot to me. Skinner out with Jack and Sam. Let the goals flow!

That is not the debate. The comment originated on whether or not the Columbus GM is Great. It was never is he better than JB. I think that is obvious. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ERod's shot there barely squeaked through and certainly wasn't labeled for a corner to force an excellent save. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
