Sabres Extend Jeff Skinner - 8 Years, $72M, $9M AAV

[Josh]

The Sabres definitely need him, but it still feels like too much for me. At 27 in a contract year, he might have peaked this past season..

Wow...

I heard he might sign for 8 a year and thought that seemed excessive.

But hey, if he can stay healthy maybe he's a perennial 35 goal-scorer now with Eichel.

Different wingers, but if Skinner can get $9M then Mitch Marner must be rubbing his hands together with glee
