Manson has more value than that. It may be internally tho. After moving Bo, the need to ship out Manson/Girard drops a lot, even with Landy returning.

What I've seen and read it has to do with cap more than the player

True, but that was addressed with the RyJo and Byram moves. Any Dman that would replace Manson/Girard would cost more or provide much much less. There for it would likely be a subtraction elsewhere in the line-up. If you want one of the Avs cup winning Dmen, it will cost more than a 2nd.

I just can't with the skinner stuff. He's having a terrible year and will still hit 25 goals/50 points. Couture can't even get on the ice

Aren't they expecting Couture to not come back

Done for this season.
His injury can't be fixed with surgery. Just time apparently.
He might not play again. Kind of sucks.. no one should go out that way.

What in the world is that Arizona trade?

Manson is too old for our timeline
Sharks trade is pretty bad, we aren’t moving Skinner

If it were the 2016 Cooch yeah, but 2024…I think he’s going to probably retire.

The Sabres thought they'd be competing for the playoffs and signed 35 year old Eric Johnson. Not sure "too old for the timeline" fits.

Well said!!!
