No thanks from Buffalo. Skinner was one of the forwards on Monday. Great move playing him with Mittelstadt and Hinostroza.

Buffalo needs Skinner to meet the cap floor. He will also bounce back playing with better line mates and getting better playing time.

No way PIT considers that.I agree, see below.

That's not enough to take on Skinner, you'd want like 3 1sts or assets equivalent to 1sts, also Buffalo needs to hit the floor. Yup, he will not be traded, he just needs better line-mates and quality playing time.
Let's be clear, Buffalo is only $4,000,000 over the cap floor, if Jack is traded then they are $6,000,000 below the floor.
If anything, Buffalo will put Jack on LTIR while taking on cap by signing players, taking them off of waivers or making trades as you suggest here.
As to your other trades, most Oiler fans do not think Koskinen will be traded even for assets much less WITH a pick.
Pittsburgh is below the cap and does not need to move Zucker.
While both Zucker and Koskinen are over paid, they do not have players to take their place if they are traded.
IMO, none of the teams will be making these trades.
