The temperatures in Buffalo have only surpassed 65 degrees a on a couple of occasions so far this spring, but Sabres fans are sweating heavily right now. Since the trade deadline passed on February 25, twitter has been...atwitter with inquisitive minds that all want to know one thing: When will general manager Jason Botterill sign forward Jeff Skinner?
It’s a good question, and an important move for the Sabres. The team leaned heavily on its highest scorer. Skinner finished the year with 40 goals. He’s the first Sabre to score 30 or more since Jason Pominville did in 2011-12 and the first to hit the 40 mark since Thomas Vanek’s 2008-09 season.
