So supposedly he wants 9-9.5 mil aav just to avoid testing the market? So he expects 10 mil per? I'm not buying it m. And even if true ask this question again when he has a 1 goal in 10 game stretch and it surely wont be this high.
Skinner would need to hit 50 goals for this kind of $. Even with his insane scoring he doesnt get the assists so I doubt he finishes with ppg+. If he thinks 45-30-75 is worth 9.5 mil per hes mistaken.
They traded twice within the conference, one being a 3 way trade and the other a small piece. Not sure why you think they are going to trade Stone to us at the TDL?
Incredible post. You were singing such a different tune about Skinner before these unsubstantiated rumors. Now you're already discussing hypothetical goal scoring droughts which will drive down his price.So supposedly he wants 9-9.5 mil aav just to avoid testing the market? So he expects 10 mil per?

I think it is the usual "ask for more than you think you can get" opening offer.
Even if it's a "ask for more than you're willing to accept" thing, his AAV is still starting with an 8 if/when he re-signs here. At best, it's 8 flat. More likely 8.5ish.
And if he keeps going at this rate, he's easily getting 9 on the open market.

If Tim Murray was still GM you would no doubt be talking about what an idiot he was for even having these discussions with Skinner for that much AAV.
Don't pay players based on shooting 20%. Ever.
Dahlin alone would have 5 more assists. How the tables have turned Jack.How many assists would he have if Jack wasn’t shooting at 5%?
Let’s not take that into consideration.
The new CBA after next season is going to have amnesty buyouts (and probably several of them per team). It is pretty much the one thing that both the owners and the players want.The Sabres can't afford a second 9+ million dollar player right now. At 8mill AAV i'm willing to risk it for someone like Skinner.
But the team financials aren't great with Berglund and Okposo on the payroll for 3/4 more years.
You have Moulson and Pominville coming off at the end of the year. So short term you can do it. But then you'll have Reinhart, Dahlin and Mittelstadt in 2/3 years. That could be a combined 20 million AAV.
8/8.5 million is as far as i'm willing to go. I've been pleasantly surprised by Skinner. I'm willing to give him Draisaitl money. But no more than that. Cap Hell will stunt this team if we overpay.
I think he takes 8*8.
