I bet we are losing a 5th or 6th rounder so they take Miller or Okposo or something like that. Not gonna lie, I will miss Kyle Okposo. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bold prediction of the offseason is that Skinner is going to have a huge bounce back season. He gets a lot of hate on here and a lot of it is deserving, but he’s going to score 25+ goals next season 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okposo would probably require a 2nd or switching draft positions at the top. Miller would probably start at a 4th Rounder. It will be interesting to see what the prices are.

Okposo would probably require a 2nd or switching draft positions at the top. Miller would probably start at a 4th Rounder. It will be interesting to see what the prices are. Then I wouldn't bother. Maybe the 4th for Miller but surrendering multiple assets is silly, must let them take someone and move on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsb Posted July 12, 2021 Report Share Posted July 12, 2021 If a player waives his NMC for this is it a temporary waive or does it remove it from their contract from then on?? Either way I would think the player might look at it as a slap in the face that they would even get asked this question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thwomp! Posted July 12, 2021 Report Share Posted July 12, 2021 Can't wait to see how this goes. We're going to get a crash course in whether the Sabres have begun to right the ship or if it's sinking faster. They have some opportunities in the next couple weeks to prove that "we won't get fooled again". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorny Posted July 12, 2021 Report Share Posted July 12, 2021 I wouldn't waive my no move if I was Skinner - he negotiated for that in good faith and he wants to be in Buffalo. There's no way he could know to a certainty Seattle wouldn't take him, and you'd be asking him to risk something he considered very important to his livelihood (anyone's really. it's where you live) for a duration of 6 years. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He gets a lot of hate on here and a lot of it is deserving, but he’s going to score 25+ goals next season I hope you are right. If he can get to scoring in the 25 goal range it would be like adding a free agent to the roster. I'm sure that he will be motivated to come into the camp ready to restore his reputation as a player. And I'm sure Granato has been working this offseason trying to figure out what is the best way to maximize his talents. Internal improvement is just as important as adding outside talent to this roster. Edited July 12, 2021 by JohnC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just need to find the right spot for him, that’s going to be the hard part.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you that Granato has to find the right spot for Skinner but the onus is on the player to adjust his game and play within the unit. The Lone Ranger style of play might working playing Cowboy and Indians but it doesn't work in the NHL. To Skinner's credit he did play with effort but to his discredit he didn't always play with smarts. That's where the alteration needs to be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorny Posted July 12, 2021 Report Share Posted July 12, 2021 Imagine signing Skinner to an 8 year deal and at the same time hiring a coach who doesn't want to play him lmao 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
