He’s going to excel there. $50 charity bet Jeff Skinner outscores our leading scorer.

Said this in another thread when Skinner's signing was just a rumor.

So, with Foegele going to the team that they always seem to play in the 1st round and Skinner joining their squad, it looks like somehow they decided the problem vs FLA was too many 2 way players and not enough offense?

I want to see @Buffalonill take a charity bet. $50 worth of booze to the homeless shelter.

Great, now there’s no losers! @Thorny please use your perfect memory to save this for posterity.

That seemed inevitable.

Ride shotgun with McDavid for a big year, finally make the playoffs, and make up the money you just lost with a big free agent contract.

And probably win another cup in the process.

Regardless of whether the move works out for the Sabres or not, you know much we’re going to get roasted for this one.

Not to mention he might score 50 playing with 97 

[Thorner]

Oh man does this ever write itself…almost comically so

Good luck Skinner; happy he didn’t go to Toronto

Scorer is ambiguous 

goals or points?

Worked well for Taylor Hall to play with Eichel...

He just lost? He's basically still making 9 million this year.

Now... just go sign Henrique in retaliation.

 

And yes, this does mean Skinner is going to finally play in a playoff game (health permitting), and win a Cup.

I assumed scorer meant goals. But I’m fine with either.

He won’t help the Oilers win the Cup.

He is the anthesis of playoff hockey.

Expect your 1st contention is almost positively a given.  The latter not so much.  Because ...

You’ve been around for a while, you know how the Sabreverse works.
