why not buy-out skinner too?

Pass

You can look at the buyout on here, and you can see why. The next two years make it not worth it, the buyout gets way better if we wait 2 years

I don't think the Sabres move Jack and Sam together, they could get more splitting them up IMO, however that is a good return but I don't see how the Kings could afford that both unless a cap dump came back

I'd be amazed if Hamilton signed anywhere for less than $7.5 million, Eklund won't last to #8 and both Los Angeles and Philadelphia decline. You can argue whether Ristolainen is worth a second or a third, but there's no dispute that he's not worth both, and I think most GMs have decided to wait and see how Eichel's recovery goes before making any high-value offer for him.
