Jeff Skinner has been one of the key pieces for the Buffalo Sabres fantastic start to this season. The 26-year-old winger has been a huge addition to the lineup and a scoring machine since arriving with the club.
The elephant in the room, however, has always been his contract situation. He’s set to become an unrestricted free agent next summer and one would imagine the Sabres want to keep him in Buffalo for the long-term.
For the first few months of the season the contract discussion has been set to the side, but after a tweet from Jeremy White of WGR550, it came to the forefront on Monday.
