Value of: Jeff Skinners next contract

[16thOverallSaveUs]

Toronto can afford Nylander . Toronto doesn't want Skinner. Tavares contact is market value . Better finish your homework before school tomorrow

Tavares contract is a shit show that stunted their youth movement. 3 years from now when nylander is twice the player Tavares is at 3 million less for a western team, you’ll realize it.

Tavares contract is a **** show that stunted their youth movement. 3 years from now when nylander is twice the player Tavares is at 3 million less for a western team, you’ll realize it.

Tavares has the 4th most goals and 7th most points since he's entered the league while being a solid defensive player on some terrible teams with barely any help. I doubt Nylander has half the career Tavares has had. You're so wrong and delusional I don't even know if your trolling or not. Tavares is a franchise player, Nylander is never going to be good enough to build around. He'll always be what Oshie was to the Caps, a complimentary piece, while Tavares will be what Kuznetsov/Backstrom were. Drivers.

Since Skinner-Eichel-Pominville was put together as a line on October 20, they are the top 3 scorers in the NHL.

Oh wow 7 games congrats. Eichel finally does something close to what he was hyped to be and now Sabres fans want to make sure everyone knows it

 

[typicalsavage]

Id rather have the Avs line

100%

Landeskog >Skinner
MacKinnon >> Eichel
Rantanen >>>>>>> Pominville

Hes on an unsustainable point streak right now playing on the hottest line in hockey, but hes going to get paid either way.

Some offensive comparables are Evander Kane, Rakell, and Atkinson. Throw RR's contract out its one of the best in the league. Kane just signed at 7x7.

If he makes it to UFA I can see him getting in the low 8s, and if he signs mid season in Buffalo I would personally go as high as what we were paying ROR on a 5-6 year deal. What do you think?

I believe that was a huge reason why Skinner waived to Buffalo and why the Sabres got him on the cheap. Not many other teams he would automatically be the best winger on the team and get the opportunity to play with one of the best centers in hockey.

Its common knowledge his 2 teams were Toronto or Buffalo. He waived based on location not the team

 

[Djp]

wtf 9m for Jeff Skinner? That shouldnt even be a talking point. Anything more than 7.5 is over payment.

I can see it higher like that in 5 yr deal.


The last 3 yrs being lower can bring it down into the 7s


Id rather it be just 5 yrs.

 

[Buf fan in Nash]

Id rather have the Avs line

Duh? Nobody said it was better, just currently the hotter of the two lines.

Who the hell would take the Sabres top line over the Av's?

How was matthews last week on the old stat sheet?

Nice contribution to the thread. Do everyone a favor and get lost.

 

[Aladyyn]

Skinner is really good. Seems like a victim of playing for a small market team that didn't know how to utilize him.

 

[ZZamboni]

How was matthews last week on the old stat sheet?

Why do you have to bring in Matthews? If it’s not a freaking leafs fan it’s a Sabres fan asking for the thread to be completely derailed because someone wants to mention Matthews or take a shot at him. Stop baiting.

News flash ... This is NOT about any leafs player!

Jeff Skinner. And his next contract.
Jeff Skinner. And his next contract.

And I don’t care for goldfish!


But back to what was being discussed, we were talking about hottest lines. Not the best or who you’d rather have!

What a dumb f***ing take. Yeah those country bumpkins Ron Francis, Bill Peters, and RBA just didn't know how to utilize the little feller.

Prior 2 seasons....
930 minutes with Derek Ryan
920 minutes with Victor Rask
590 minutes with Elias Lindholm

Your point? 2 seasons he ago he put up 37/26/63 with that shit in the best all-around season of his career. Shocking to find him lighting it up with an actual star during a contract year. It doesn't negate the fact implying that "a small market team doesn't know how to utilize their players" is a dumb f***ing take.

 

[Jame]

Your point? .

It’s clearly poor utilization

 

[GIN ANTONIC]

It’s clearly poor utilization

37 goals two years ago... yeah, they really didn’t know how to get anything out of him

 

[grapes55]

Always wished the Leafs would've picked up Skinner, now seeing him lighting it up with Buffalo makes me sad

 

[Roboturner913]

Skinner is really good. Seems like a victim of playing for a small market team that didn't know how to utilize him.

yeah, he really struggled in Carolina, only averaged 35 goals per 82 games, what a travesty

 

[PAZ]

It’s clearly poor utilization

Who exactly were they suppose to ice him with?

That's like saying Eichel was traded and all of a sudden got to center Pastrnak and Marchand after playing with Pominville/Rodrigues/Reinhart. Suddenly that's poor utilization?

 

[AD Skinner]

I've always liked Skinner and am sorry the canes traded him. But what I predict will happen is he will continue this streak for a while, then go 5-7 games with barely any points, then the cycle will begin again. When he's hot he's surface of the sun hot, but he's not always "on" like that. I don't think it's an effort thing either he's just very streaky

I think those were intended as 2 separate points in the original post. (First part being Skinner is not given the credit he's due because he played in a small market that doesn't get paid much attention. Second being Carolina didn't use him in a way that maximizes his value.)

 

[ImpartialNHLfan]

He'll get 7 years, $9.5m from Vegas

 

[Jame]

No one said he struggled.
Someone commented that the previous group didn't "utilize him well"
When one of the best ES goal scorers in the league.... is 76th in ES ice time... the statement is true.
