He's always kept his personal life under wraps. I wasn't even aware he was dating anyone when he got traded here.His girlfriend lives in Nashville, by the way.
Maybe it wasn't there yet when he was trading from Canes?
I just read this on another board from a reliable source. But Skinner has no reason to give up on NMC anyway.He's always kept his personal life under wraps. I wasn't even aware he was dating anyone when he got traded here.

Of course not. Given what we know about his offbeat personality, my guess is he's Dolly's side-piece.Well, it's not her.

She's getting up in age but "back in the day... WOWZA!"
Here is one of her more famous songs:
Eternally cute talented funny and sexy.

He will probably become a re-tooling team’s bargain bin find for once teams sign their priorities. I could see him going to Vegas, Los Angeles, or a team like Dallas. Maybe he ends up in Tampa or Florida. I can see him fitting on a bunch of teams, but I don’t see him being a priority for anybody.yeah based on all the smoke + KA comments, Skinner is a goner.
From one article:
The League’s first buyout period begins Thursday, June 27, and will run until Sunday, June 30, at 5 p.m. ET.
Didn't know it went until Sunday. I'd like to see a trade made with retention. But, if he is bought out, would he take league min to play in TO? He's certainly earned enough career $.
lol what other options did Ruff have? He’s here because Pegula is cheap! What, did you think he was the best coach on the market or something?
Skinner has said many times that playing close to home is his #1 priority. That's why he would only waive to Buffalo or Toronto before. This is why he's not waiving now.
If we buy him out, it's not going to shock me if he takes a stupidly cheap deal to play for Toronto or maybe even just doesn't play at all.
I think it all depends on whether Adams can acquire a top 6 winger to replace him.Assuming someone goes to arbitration.
If skinner will not waive his nmc at all, hope Sabres wait until second buyout window to buy him out.

They don't want to play with him in the team, that's obvious to me.I'm all for buying out Skinner next year. This year I don't understand it. It gives them one year of cap space that they can only rent players into.

At this point it seems they have tried to move him and he is unwilling to waive. We can infer that from Adams’ comments the last few days that they have asked him. They don’t want him back, can’t see that working well for the player or the team at this point. The bridge has been crossed.

To me, either way it sucks. Now, you get one year of significant cap savings that you correctly point out can't really be used for any long-term improvement. Do it next year though and it's almost pointless.
True, and even if they spend close to the cap limit, I'm afraid it will be for players that don't make a difference in the playoffs.The biggest difference that matters is more actual money saved. I don't believe Sabres will be all that close to salary cap. I guess we'll see but a buyout and not being close to cap is not logical.
You spend more cash and take up more cap space overall by waiting.Even then, isn't it better cap math to just sit him this year and buy him out next?
