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.
