New report confirms the Buffalo Sabres will buy out Jeff Skinner's contract
A new report confirmed that the Buffalo Sabres are set to buy out Jeff Skinner's contract.
In breaking news, it was announced on X that the Sabres are expected to get rid of Jeff Skinner before the end of his contract:
The Athletic's Matthew Fairburn wrote a paper about the financial implications of buying out Skinner's contract. He highlighted the fact that Skinner is set to receive $22 million in salary for the rest of his contract, but a buyout would only cost $14.67 million to happen.
In his own words:
Skinner has been an important part of the team for the past six seasons, scoring 291 points in 427 games. He had the best season of his career in 2022-23, scoring 82 points in 79 games.
He struggled to maintain the same level for the 2023-24 season. He still managed to tally 46 points but couldn't have the same impact for the Sabres that he had in the previous season.
More to come.
