I hope Botterill doesn't offer that kind of money to Skinner.

I'm used to having a team in the pit for so many years. I just don't understand why Skinner has to get that money, then Reinhart will have the right to ask for 9M in a year. Of course I'd like Skinner to stay, but somehow Botterill didn't think to extend Skinner last summer, like they did in Vegas with Stone.

Stone got 9.5 in a state with no income tax. I think 8.75M for Skinner is right about where he belongs. He's not the complete player Stone is but he scored 40 goals and has proven he will score over his career. In my estimation the Sabres need Skinner more than he needs them. If they get Skinner they still need another line of middle 6 forwards to compete. If they lose Skinner they need 6 plus a top line goal scoring wing. That's a tough haul in one summer.

Yes, Stone received a 9.5, but the Stone is a stronger player than Skinner, Stone does a lot more, I will be fine if Botterill extend Skinner's 8x7 or 8x8, but closer to 9 is clearly too much. Kane got 7M in San Jose.

He is a 3 time 30 and 1 time 40 goal scorer who is 26 years old and about to become a UFA. Get real

So? Is that why he has to get that kind of money? I disagree, if Botterill will pay him the money, he will once again admit their incompetence.

It's just common sense, especially given the situation in Buffalo over the years. I remember Murray trading our prospects and futures it was pretty lousy.

Agreed. Stone is NOT a comp for Skinner at all. Kane is. JVR is.

Edit: Pacioretty also. You're looking at 8.8 - 9.3% of cap.

We already traded for skinner. Goal scorers get paid. The cap keeps going up. We have no replacement for his offense either

I agree that Skinner is very important to us, but leaving him in Buffalo at all costs, is that a good approach? This year, UFA market is quite large, I will be interested to see what kind of contract Anders Lee will get.

No, you're at 10.5%. That's Bergeron territory.

I love Jeff. He is exuberant, talented, quick to smile, and seems to be a good team mate. In December after scoring his 26th goal it appeared he would be given a $9,000,000 8 year contract. In his next 42 games he got 14. So does he receive salary commensurate with a 50 goal season or 30 goal season. IMO every GM will make a note of his 8 and 13 streaks of no goals (4 goals over his last 25 games). I think he be paid well, but not nearly $9,000,000, probably closer to $8,000,000. So if we do 9% of 82,500,000 we get $7,425,000 per year, 10% is $8,250,000 per year, 11% is $9,075,000 per year. Take your pick, how much of a discount will he get for being close to Toronto, maybe nothing? I hope he is resigned, I hope living in a low cost of living city will influence his decision. I hope the chemistry he developed with Eichel will help.
