I’d say 10.5 max. Probably has an AAV somewhere between there and this contract.


He will probably get that from someone, I just hope it's not from Montreal.

Cap inflation everyone and if you can score you get paid, not to mention he's a pending UFA. This is a goal scorers league, Skinner has been a consistent scorer in this league, he regresses to 25-25 and a 55-70 point pace it;s a fair deal. CAP INFLATION

If Skinner is worth 9M watch Marner get 11M+?

25 Goals for 9 Million Dollars? If he pots anything less than 40 goals in any of the next 8 seasons, this contract is an overpayment.

Marner will get 11 Million+ unless it's a 2 or 3 year deal.

OOOOF

What a bad signing. 9 Million for a guy who has a season high of 63 points. He put up 40 goals, but only had 17 in the final 42.


who cares. he had 23 in first half, and he slowed down a little. 9 mil to stay in buffalo?

It's good for Skinner, definitely not good for Buffalo.

Thankfully they don't have too many commitments right now. Things could change if the GM keeps spending like this though.

As bad as this seems and unless the details of the signing change, I see no NMC. So... He may be overpaid but if he doesn't work, he can find himself getting traded no strings attached.


I see a FULL NMC in all 8 years ....

Goals are worth more that assists! If goals=1.5A...Skinner totaled 83 points this year. That being said, Laine has to be well over $10M AAV despite a down season. Marner only scored 26G but if we apply the same formula of 1.5A for every goal Marner has 107 points. Thats +34 over Skinner. He's gotta be well over $10M AAV. Long story short...I believe Skinner was overpaid...He deserved 8X8, in my opinion. Even w/ the rising cap of $83M.

I'd rather have Panarin, even for the extra $2M. He's a superstar who drives play. He doesn't need to have a facilitator to score. He's similar to Marner, or maybe Taylor Hall. He's also clutch. I think BUF has suffered for many years of poor upper management, despite a plethora of high draft picks in recent seasons. The foundation is definitely there w/ a #1 C and #1 D.

My Issue is he's a very streaky scorer with little chance he hits that pace again. This just shows Buffalo desperation. Realistically, he's a 30 goal scorer and had a great year. He's 27 and 8 years is a long time.


This is exactly what I was going to say. I always knew if buffalo was going to keep him they would have to over pay.

.

Skinner has averaged 0.63 points per game over his last 5 seasons (that's 51 points per 82 games).

He's also been a -56 over that span ... and he's a noticeably terrible defensive player.

Maybe that's why he's 27 and has never played a playoff game?

$9,000,000 x 8 Years .... WOW

I would not want to be a team having to sign a major player after seeing this.
That NMC....no just no. Have they learned nothing looking at other teams.
I under stand the length though. Why would he accept shorter. At 34 he can still be a decent player though. We'll see once he cracks 30.
