Joke organization. Look at all his suitors lining up! He’s not a quality NHL player. Hasn’t been in this decade.

I can’t believe this organization thinks trading one of the most well liked goal scorers off of a young team and then not replace his production sends a good message through the organization. Seriously. Imagine how ***** dejecting it would be to lose not only one of your team’s top goalscorers, but also one of the guys you really like on the team. I bet when guys on the rosters saw the buyout they got excited because no way would they get rid of Jeff without replacing him. I can promise you every single Sabres player understands Skinners flaws. I would also bet dollars to donuts they’d rather have him than nothing.

I’m always fascinated by the pushback some posters get around here for being disappointed or for not being sold on the team/front office/media. The angry people have been right for a decade plus now.

I like your optimism!

It saves Terry a buck, why would he regret it?

We are a better hockey team in that we should be more well-rounded and have moved on from Zemgus, KO, and Skinner. Whether adding speed and toughness motivates the straw stirrers to success is another question. I just don’t trust our top 6.

Well yeah having four guys out there should help, Joe!

People will point to this money spent as proof Pegula is willing to spend to win. That’s worth a hand wring.

You’re not wrong, but I’m not here today for rational discourse.

There will be plenty who believe it. There’s been plenty every year.

Overpay an impact player by $3m, not a bottom 6. This just makes you look stupid. He hasn’t even made up what he saved by cutting Skinner. He hasn’t proved *****.

lol what a ***** joke. He’s a good fourth liner on a playoff team.

Don’t worry, I’ll be out of here again soon enough.

I’ll be surprised if Zemgus is in the league next season. It better be an upgrade.

Crazy we had $11m more cap space than that.

Some what I’m seeing it teams with generally thought of as good GMs are making moves regardless of cap space and teams with bad GMs are treading water.

Yeah but we’ve got Lindy back in the fold! Who needs talent when you have nostalgia?

This isn’t a playoff team

The cost of living is astronomically higher in Nashville than Buffalo. Great, he gets 41 games of tax free earnings. He still gets 41 games of getting taxed, with more out West in higher tax states. Source: Just relocated from Nashville to Buffalo because the cost of living is astronomical in Nashville.

I don’t mind this.

That’s an overpay. Good for him. I haven’t seen Buffalo connected to anyone unless it’s from a local source. Seems fishy.

JJP and Benson would make for two tenacious wings on the third line. Put a solid 3C there and that’s a hell of a line.

Yes we do. Get depth by pushing down our current top 6.
