FYI this is a bigger diaster than letting him walk away for nothing.
Getting a deep pocketed owner has been the worst thing to happen to buffalo since Bret hull's skate.

You forget get that it is also a business.
Walking away from Skinner might be the right move hockey wise, but it’s likely to alienate the fan base who will only put up with some much mediocrity.
Buffalo is a team on the rise, it might be bad business to regress now.
Skinner had great chemistry with Eichel. There is that.
But I don’t disagree with your hockey analysis.
