I guess, approved by Buffalo. Replacing 9mil boat anchor with 5,5 mil one + Barron +1st + 2nd.

Skinner is probably the last player I’d want to go after.

He's an upgrade on Anderson for sure but I might have a little overpay.

There’s just something about him that I wouldn’t want near our team. He can score goals better than most… but a $9M player who’s paid and regarded as a top line contributor but hasn’t made the playoffs once in 1000 games / 14 seasons?

Sabres scream deal hang up the phone and unplug it from the wall.

Well, the Skinner hate has reached ABSURD proportions

Anderson & his 8 goals can be considered a “boat anchor”
Skinner has 24 goals
Calling him a boat anchor is just ridiculous
He’s 1 behind Peterka for our team lead and one of our few forwards who isn’t having a “down” season

Unreal
Yes, he’s overpaid
But getting something for $9mil is better than getting nothing for $5.5

Barron would be a healthy scratch for us
And the picks are nice, i guess, but don’t we keep saying the Sabres aren’t interested in futures?

All this trade does is take away one of our most productive players - for a bunch of stuff we don’t really want

We also have plenty of Cap Room
The extra couple mil this creates isn’t getting us much

@Taz
It’s an interesting idea, I’ll give u that
But it’s something that the Skinner haters are gonna like, & in reality Sabres mgmt just doesn’t really consider
We aren’t trying to get rid of Skinner, even though he’s overpaid

He’s continued to be one of our most productive forwards,
and doesn’t kill us defensively

And we just won’t have any interest in Anderson
Barron wouldn’t get into our nightly lineup here- Clifton is already locked in as our RD3 and neither guy should be on pair 2
And while the picks are nice, they aren’t a “need” either


Just don’t see us interested in this trade,
or anything like it

It's cheaper to buy Anderson out in 2025 so Pegs would like that...lol
Adams gets a 1st and 2nd rd pick and a young RHD so he likes that

DEAL!!!
