Better offer Skinner 8 years, or he'll go somewhere that'll offer him 7.

EK doesn't fix this team - they need ALOT more than just him.

Im sure after he chose to play in buffalo, near home, and having a career year with a franchise center hes looking to tell people how terrible it is here by leaving money on the table. That said- i think the number is closer to 8.5

I'd watch the Skinner's second half of the season. He was uncharacteristic "hot" during the first half. No team should (but undoubtedly will) pay for the first half performance.

Hes never played with a distributor like Eichel. Is he gonna score 60 goals? Probably not, but watching him play it's pretty sustainable.
