[debaser66]

Lets just Lupul him

 

[Dubi Doo]

So, we'll have an idea by tonight whether or not he's being bought out?

Not necessarily. Adams could decide to wait a couple days (this buyout period ends June 30).

Skinner won't be put on waivers because he has a NMC.

It was time for the break.

Thanks for the fun Jeff but it's time for this team to be serious contenders.

Now I expect a few splashes over this off season from KA & to add to the top line/top 6.

Absolutely.

Man, I’m not sure how you do it.

Man, I’m not sure how you do it.

If you don't see this as an obvious step that they're going to be making moves, I don't know what I can possibly say to convince you otherwise.

It really does appear that way but If Adams fails to bring in solid free agents or players via trade this offseason, he should be fired before the season begins.

 

[Macbanan]

Two of the most effective offensive players gone in Skinner and Mittelstadt, after a season where they had trouble scoring. I hope they have a plan.

 

[Willgamesh]

This is only a good idea depending what players we trade for or get in FA. I did want to see Skinner under Ruff but if RBA didn't want to coach him Lindy probably felt the same way.

 

[Fjordy]

We have some scoring options and I'm optimistic that Adams will add some good players to the top 9.

My biggest fear is he grabs a 4th line C, and moves Krebs up. I'd really like to see Krebs on the 4th line between two guys who will battle like rabid dogs and put players through the glass. Jeannot and Carrier would be my top choices. I think that'd unlock more of his ratness. It helps to be a rat when the two players on your line can knock heads.

And a 3rd line C who is a proven commodity. Too much on the line this year.

They’re incompetent. Saying this is to become serious about contending is laughable at this point.

I don’t know how fans continue to do it. Year after year.

They are competent with the arrival of one person

Cool, then why are you here posting?

 

[Ehran]

Honestly, I'll believe Skinner being bought out is actually happening when the Sabres announce it.

Not before then.

 

[Sabre Dance]

Cool, then why are you here posting?

Curiosity.

 

[Jim Bob]

Curiosity.

Lurking is an option if you are merely curious.

 

[Beerz]

Off the cuff I don't like it.... but depending on corresponding moves I can be alright with it

 

[BFLO]

What time exactly does the buyout window open? I want to be ready to slam my F5 key over and over once it does.

I'm thinking I'm going to hate the moves, or be OK with them, or really love them.

 

[TageGod]

Noon officially. Alright let's roll. Sign or trade for a 3C or 3W at about 4.5m for two years. This ensures you are directly using the cap savings and aren't tied to a contract with the big cap hit year 3. You can work with about 6 million for a second forward this offseason. Doesn't matter to me which position has the cap hit or the term, one just needs to be two years.

They will retain about 10m in free space to fill out the 4th line and depth. This assumes Krebs Joker and 6k have new contracts with the team. Year 3 the two-year signing has expired to coincide with the large cap hit year.
