The Sabres trade is absolutely LAUGHABLE...

...Yes, I'm sure BUF would hate to get out from one of the worst contracts in the NHL as painlessly as this.

...Sabres won't be cap-strapped for years with all their young contracts....

...Trading first round picks to get cap space that we dont need, of course no.
I agree that this would be the worse trade the Sabres ever made.
Skinner is actually performing as expected. At this rate he will have 24 goals and 52 pts, close his life time average.
He is over paid as it was expected he would be playing with Jack and 40 goals seasons would be the norm.
Buffalo will NEED his contract for at least 3 more seasons and if he is bought out after that his buyout will last for only 4 more seasons.
The cap hits will be $4KK, $6KK, $2KK and $2KK, not good to have that much dead cap, but it is manageable.
