Montreal refuses.

3 years of 5.5 + 1 year of 4.45 does not make sense to take on Skinner. If Skinner would have 1-2 years left sure. They can send Anderson to the minors at the start of the year to save cap room.

Habs accept! Good trade idea!

I disagree. Habs need scoring. Skinner still has some juice left and honestly getting 2 players off the roster opens up opportunities to let rookies make the team.

Skinner has 3 years left at 9mill and been scoring less every year for the pass 4 years. You need to think of Guhle, Reinbacher, Slav new contracts coming up. Is it worth going from one BAD Anderson contract to the next being a better score, but the rest of the ELC contracts coming up for new deals. I will say no every single time.

Don't get me wrong one for one Anderson vs Skinner. Skinner is the better player, but you are still tying yourself up for 9million in cap. Thats why I refuse the contract and that's why the Habs would as well. They simply send Anderson down and bring up Roy for the full season.
