There is no denying Pominville benefits from playing with Skinner and Eichel.
But it was reported by 2 former 2 team mates of Pominville (Andrew Peters, Craig Rivet) that he showed up at camp and this season in the best shape they've ever seen him.
He'll be 36 yrs old at the end of this season with his contract up.
If this line (I hear them being called "The Flying J's here in Buffalo now. Jeff, Jack, Jason) can continue an even balanced consistency in confidence, chemistry and production throughout this season, what does GM Jason Botterill do? Does he re-sign Pominville to an extension, is so, how long given age and the youth currently developing in Rochester?
Skinner is also on the last year of his deal and is 26 yrs old. If Botterill re-signs Skinner, which I believe he will after the deadline to an 8 yr high dollar deal, would that force the Sabres to go to an ELC young winger contract to offset cap implications?
Many scenario's obviously, but the main question remains, what happens to Pominville if this line keeps production consistent throughout the season?
