Probably this. But it does make me wonder if Jeff knows Jack is leaving and we're in for a rebuild so he wants out. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grinreaper Posted July 14, 2021 Report Share Posted July 14, 2021 Jeff Skinner, most likely doing his team a big favor. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted July 14, 2021 Report Share Posted July 14, 2021 I would note that Skinner does not have a signing bonus until next year and that might appeal to Seattle as they get their feet wet. His 9mil in cap depending on their expansion list could be very useful against their floor. Further many of the underlying shot generating metrics and penalty drawing metrics remained even as his production cratered. 6 years though, seems like a lot. I would guess that Buffalo has something in place for Seattle to get a 5th and take Miller. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brawndo Posted July 14, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2021 Major props to Skinner for doing the team a huge favor. Zemgus, Miller or Borgen is probably the pick now 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bob_sauve28 Posted July 14, 2021 Report Share Posted July 14, 2021 Good team move. No way Seattle puts that millstone around their neck. We can keep Borgen now. Risto won't be taken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthEbriate Posted July 14, 2021 Report Share Posted July 14, 2021 --Whoa! That got him. ++I see you, Wedge Jeff. Good work. Asplund, Thompson, and Bjork are all safe. (Alternately, this frees up a spot for protecting an acquired piece via trade.) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
