Well, considering that it was he who insisted on signing Skinner to this contract...

lol. I was going to say that for “worst decision by owner,” but opted for “buying the team in the first place.”

No joke. How did he arrive at a contract where he competed against himself? $72 M over 8 years. no team could go more than seven, and he wanted to stay in Buffalo. I'm supposed to believe there was another team willing to go $10 M x 7 years. LOL. That contract should have been $7.5 M x 8 or $60 million. Yes, it was a crazy deal and implied some team would go $8.5 M x seven for Skinner.
This contract (followed by demanding O'Reilly be traded one day before the bonus was due) is a key exhibit of incompetence Pegula. How they got to $72 M over eight will always be a mystery.
We were going to stuck with a bad contract but amazing how they got played.
Paying him $10.5 million was hilarious. An unemployed soccer president duped Pegula into a crazy dollar figure. Mindless. How many coaching offers could he have had to leverage the contract? No one was making him a GM. Maybe, a senior admin person but not for that salary, My Gawd if Pegula an idiot.

I think Jeff's agent did a good job. He knew Buffalo had a pretty weak roster and they wouldn't want to lose a guy who scored 40 goals. I doubt anyone was willing to pay him 10 million a year, but who knows.

People complain about keeping the Bills stadium in Orchard Park but it's actually smart: Far enough away from downtown so that nobody can smell the stench from the rotting maggot infested corpse of the hockey team Terry murdered.
