Late on Friday evening the Buffalo Sabres announced that they finally had come to an agreement with Jeff Skinner and his camp about a new contract. A contract worth $72 million over the coming eight years with an AAV of $9 million. Coming off a career year with 40 goals Skinner were bound to be paid, either by the Sabres or from another team in the league. The Die By The Blade staff share their thoughts on the new contract.
Alexander Nilsson: Finally an end to this saga. For a day or two I thought Sabres twitter would implode over the non existing news about Jeff Skinner and his future in Buffalo.
