The issue is him and Ruff clashing
Buffalo can retain and get him to $5M vs buy put.
Yeah, don't see a buyout, that's nonsense, but retaining the rest of the deal.

Full NMC. Moving him isn't an option.Yeah, don't see a buyout, that's nonsense, but retaining the rest of the deal.
Yes he is.Who knows where he gets his info from, that's not something I can answer.
But I do know EF is legitimate
I'm no Skinner fan...but the team has bigger issues than him and buying him out won't help them in a couple of years when they might start to figure it out.
He doesn't have a choice.If he doesn't want a buyout, and considering that Buffalo has said that the 11th pick is in play for forward help, why not combine the two?
I don’t think you understand how abysmal he is on defense. If he was even below average this wouldn’t be a discussion.Surprised people think Skinner wouldn't make up the 7 million he would lose from a buyout.
The last three seasons he's scored 24, 35, 33 goals and he just entering his 32 season.... I'd be shocked if he didn't get a few million as a free agent
I'd say worse case he breaks even which I'm sure he'd be ok with it he got to go to any sort of competitive team
Can we repeat, loudly, the part where it says nothing is coming from the Sabres or Skinners agent? You know, for the people saying EF is the oracle and wouldn't dare just be speculating like everyone else.I don’t think you understand how abysmal he is on defense.

He is the ring leader of the Sabres being soft, perimeter and not wanting to go to battle.

The best part is that most of us want EF to be right. We just know he likely has very little information to back up this speculation.I was told I was making stuff up about him and Adams

Too big a coward or too smart? Skinner only has three years left, I don’t believe it’s really worth it this year. Buyouts are a crap option, especially if you don’t need it.Adams is too big of a coward to buy out Skinner.
And this is true. But then, it's been reported here in Buffalo that since Lindy came back on board, he may very well be calling the shots.Too big a coward or too smart?

Eh this feels like Duchene last year, making good money from a buyout and teams leary about giving him term so he'll probably take short term low money on a team where he's a good fitMaybe so, but goal scorers get paid
But he was a 30 goal pace before that as well as the two seasons before, so my question is why was he only playing that kind of time?Jeff Skinner the last quarter of the season:
22 GP, 5 Goals, 10 Pts, 13:33 TOI/GP
It's not just that he's overpaid anymore. It's that he's not very good. Once the Sabres got guys like Quinn back, Skinner was playing bottom six minutes with PP2 time.
The people who think "oh gee, Sabres buy him out, we can get him for cheap, slot him in our top 6 and viola...we just added a top sixer, 30+ goal guy for nothing"...are in for a rude awakening. We all know he can't be "the" guy...the problem is he's not much of "a" guy at this point.
Not saying he isn't worth a shout if he's bought out and floating around for a cheap-o deal...but the idea that he should be an integral part of any contending team's top six or a relied upon PP weapon - those days are probably over.
lol yeah you’re sitting in buffalo and are aware of all of the connections that are eryone in the league has. Buffalo fans on here are laughable with all of their “insider knowledge.”Tbf he does with Buffalo. He hasn’t had any sources within the Sabres org since he decided to be Eichel’s mouthpiece when he forced his way out of town.
