Having seen hundreds of skinner proposals, its pretty clear- skinner plays 2 years for buffalo and then gets bought out. We have to retain probably half (4.5m per), just to get him to "no value", where it costs a 7th rounder for him. Any less retention and we either have to attach something of great value, or take back somebody elses cap dumps just to move him. Matheson is signed for almost 5m for 5 more years, at a position where we have dahlin (first overall), power (likely first overall), bryson (young kid the team loves), kjell samuelssons kid that looks ready, and ryan johnson (late first that took a step in college last year, and our owner is going to want to play to try to prove that we got SOMETHING back in the ror trade). So here we acquire a guy that we pretty much have to move right away, and its going to cost something to move him out. Two more years with skinner and the buyout looks better, which is two years of a rebuild, where the only important thing is not moving futures to make cap room on a team thats gonna finish bottom 3 most likely.
