The Skinner contract is one of the worst in the league itll cost much more than that to get rid of it

I'd take Skinner's contract over Vlasic's anytime. And Montreal is not moving Josh Anderson for that ridiculous offer.

SJS trade seems fair, montreal decline not enough value to take on Vlasic horrible deal also their already over the cap and taking more on, florida trade seems fair, buffalo reject not enough incetives to take on Neal

Buffalo is better off keeping Skinner and playing him with Staal for a year to get him producing again.

But signing Hoffman for one year is a good idea, and paying to move out cap space to make it work might happen if he signs that.

eta: Anderson was injured last year. Teams are valuing him still as a 30g power forward. MTL just signed him this month after trading him for Domi. The sarcasm is heavy with this thread.

How is that SJS trade fair? Skinner is still a top 6/1st line player while Vlasic is barely top 4. The one-year difference in their contract doesn't make up for the difference between the two players. Also, Ullmark > Dubnyk and Mittelstadt > Suomela

Or they could do the crazy thing and actually play him with other top 6 forwards!

The sharks deal seems pretty decent, but that MTL is terrible for the habs

Skinner is right now a second liner who getting paid more than vlasic and vlasic might retire before the end of his deal, also Vlasic is still a second pairing dman

Panthers are not looking for another goalie

I don’t understand the point of oilers trade from either side.

Sharks accept that so fast.
