Confirmed with Link: Jeff Skinner, $3M x 1 year

[Bryanbryoil]

Score! We've added 2 potential 30 goal guys in Skinner and Arvidsson!

 

[K1900L]

I could see a scenario where he ends up on McDavid's line because he looks like a goal-scorer, if he stays healthy he will be set up for 40+ goals easily. Will be very fun to see. Could be the first season for McDrai where there are four top 6 wingers available.

Love it

 

[Took a pill in Sbisa]

$3m for a guy averaging 30 goals over the past 2 seasons is a steal

Especially if Knoblauch can coach some defensive awareness into him.

 

[nabob]

This was the signing my kid was wanting all day for the Oil! Super stoked for it. 30 goals easy playing with one of Drai/McD. This could allow them to use Nuge in a 3C role and not need Rico back

 

[MessierII]

I like it. What’s our cap situation now?

 

[Justicebork]

McDavid 200 points next season no doubt about it, don't nobody doubt it

Depending on Kane’s health and Holloway’s development, maybe even six top 6 calibre wingers to choose from

Arvidsson has not scored 30 in 5 years. What we are getting is a solid 2 way player who plays bigger than he is and that is why he keeps getting injured.

Jeff Skinner scares the crap out of me. I loved having him in my fantasy pools some years but it is the play in his own zone the concerns me

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Let's Go, love this signing, top 6 has way more punch offensively

what concerns people is not his goal scoring ability.

Did you sign him to win a selke? Like if he was more flawless he wouldn't have been bought out

 

[MoontoScott]

I'm impressed with Jackson so far.

Maybe he should just be the President/GM in a combined role and save Katz 4M a year.

Sather did both jobs for years. That turned out ok.

There was a lot of smoke around him in Buffalo the last two years. He was reportedly bought for several reasons beyond his contract.

Skinner and Kane in the same dressing room? Could be interesting

 

[DethOfDragnz]

A little more expensive then I would have liked but not a bad deal will give us some scoring depth. I am exciting to see how he does with the team next season.

 

[HolyGhost]

As a Buffalo fan I have only one thing to so. IF you can keep Skinner happy you have a good goal scorer on your hands. If Skinner gets unhappy? That is another story.

 

[McFlyingV]

Second line is going to f***ing feast this year. Draisaitl just went from having no goal scoring wingers to two goal scoring wingers overnight.

Bottom 6 has the potential to be incredible as well with Holloway's continued growth and either a bounce back Kane performance or a Kane trade and Henrique signing. I think Connor Brown puts up 30-40P next year and Janmark around 30.

As a Buffalo fan I have only one thing to so. IF you can keep Skinner happy you have a good goal scorer on your hands. If Skinner gets unhappy? That is another story.

Does playing with 1 of 2 of the best playmaking centres of the modern era make Skinner happy?

 

[TheNumber4]

Awesome f***in signing on so many levels.

Welcome to the Oil Skinner! You are going to feast with our Top 6 and we’re gonna get you a Cup! Let’s gooooooo

Depends on what McDavid shows up next year. I don't think we'll see 100 assist McDavid if he takes care of whatever his core injury is and can actually shoot again.

Hey, thanks for the input as a BUF fan, always good to hear. I know he was pretty unhappy and very vocal about it. How is his skating? Looks like slow boots and getting rapidly worse.

 

[Hockeylife2018]

I'm excited...when's the last time we had a legit sniper that could pot 30+?
