Orrrr, Skinner actually sucks.

Skinner really fell off a cliff. Scored 36 goals in his first 57 games with the Sabres and 24 goals in 135 games since (4 in his final 25 games in ‘18-‘19, 14 in 59 games in ‘19-‘20, and 6 in the 51 games so far this season). He’s done.

Living in NJ I can tell everyone that Rangers fans are upset about these firings. They thought both JD and Jeff Gorton were doing a good job with the rebuild. The Sabres should look to speak with both of them unless the Pegula's are happy with their current FO.

 

My  Ranger fan friends didn't like the firings but their biggest problem with the team is it's all talent and no grit. And they were saying that before the season started. But that's what JD and Gorton had built to date.

The NHL is a dead sport anymore. Run by a bunch of idiots who want to destroy it.

 

The league certainly didn't handle the Tom Wilson incident this week well. NHL = WWE on skates.

If this wasn't the Sabres organization we were talking about I would agree with you...

He sucked before he was with the Sabres and if they can manage to rid themselves of him he’ll suck wherever he goes.  He plays one of the least complete games imaginable.  He has shown nothing indicating he wants to improve.  He hangs out at the blue line waiting for the breakout pass.  He hasn’t changed and the only fault the Sabres have is having signed him.  He’s terrible.

The minute he didn’t have Eichel spoon feeding him he was done scoring.  He always sucked in every single other aspect of the game.  It’s like a golfer who can one putt every green but takes 37 shots to get to the green.  There are some incredible highlights but it doesn’t belong on the PGA tour.

what a crap year to have the best odds at #1 overall. Well, at least I won’t be nervous watching the draft lottery drawing this year! 😂

Agree entirely. You can take the top 10 rated prospects, put their names in a hat, pull one out and he would be just as deserving to go number one overall as the other nine. There’s just no clear cut player at the top. Regardless, it will be years before anyone we select will be in the lineup anyway.

If they lose Ullmark to FA they really need to take a goalie.  Ukka Pooka Sambuca ain’t going to cut it.

UPL is still a way's away from being ready for the NHL.  Way too early to declare his career over though.

 

I would like to see us move on from Ullmark and get a better No. 1 goalie if we can.

 

This team hasn't had sound goaltending in a while now.

Didn’t they draft that dude in like 1978?  He’s not going to cut it.

See ya, Jack. And Samson, and Risto, and Jake. Hate to see Jack go since we simply can’t win any trade in the short term because we won’t be getting a player nearly as good. But it’s time. We will continue to set new league records for playoff droughts each of the next several years until this latest rebuild is done. 
 

Thank god we have a foundation like Skinner to build upon.
