Interesting idea seems like a lot to retain though, would you still do it at 2.5 retained??

I think I would

Don't see Buffalo retaining that much on Skinner

Lucic would be a hard sell for Sabre fans as we hold grudges and people still hate him for running Miller 10 years ago. I would hesitate on the retention, but I like Lucic and feel the Sabres need someone like him on and off the ice. interesting but with that much retention I think they pass

Sabres laughingly decline
You’d only get 5.5mil cap hit from Skinner,
and we’d get the 7.8m from Lucic/Bennett +3.5m held from Skinner

So 11.3mil in Cap hit for us, only 5.5m in Cap hit for you

Ummmmm..... no thanks

Nope- it’s still not close
Would be 10.3mil in Cap for us, and only 6.5mil in Cap for u guys

There’s just no way we are anywhere close here if u want us to retain on Skinner

I think its a horrible idea, but its only 10.3 for one year because bennett is expiring and lucic is under contract shorter than skinner.

however its a hard no. his almost hilarious at this point bad puck luck will change and maybe krueger will stop playing him with scrubs

Yes from a Buf fan.
