If we're talking Pacioretty, sure. If we're talking Schwartz, Stone, one or more of the Rangers guys, etc., would prefer it to a draft pick.

Everything I'm hearing would make me very ok with keeping him

Here’s hoping we end up with Skinner, Hanifin so we all can be happy

Is Jack Eichel really untouchable in Buffalo? Obviously a young, offensively talented player but I honestly don't get the sense he is going to be a true franchise player.

If you could send Eichel & 2018 2nd to Carolina for Hanifin, the #2 pick & Lindbolm wouldn't you at least consider it?

that’s technically 6 million with the cap going up

I got a baaaad feeling about Skinner.
- feetontheair22

Like that we’re going to get him

It probably will be a good player. Or not. Or the pick could miss. The earliest we would see returns is 2021-22. My God, let's try to be good this year
- jcragcrumple

We should. And the first step is to keep the same players that finished 31st this past year

Wtf are you smoking... hell NO

You would have done this when you didn’t think he was worth 10m

I wonder if we could trade for Blackhawks prospect Ivan Nalimov.. kid wants NHL minutes and I bet his rights could be had for a low conditional pick.

Skrew Skinner.


RoR Skinner
center > LW
60pts on a worse team > 50pts on a better team
Strong defensively > weak defensively
Best face off guy in the league > doesn't take face offs
Locked up for 5 more years > pending UFA who wants a big pay day

There better be a lot more than Skinner coming back in this trade.

Skrew Skinner.

Guy who gave up when the going got tough < Guy who still gives it all.
Guys who's contract will still be more expensive than Skinner and his 8 year extension by 1MM per year.

Like were gonna get him and he will fall off or end up injured alot
- feetontheair22

They can keep him.

Send them ROR + 2019 first (unconditional) + Nylander for Svech and a 3rd. I will be a happy man

Flip the 3rd or next year's second for Hoffman.

32 + for Athananasiou

Hoffman-Eichel-Okposo
Svech-Mitts-Reinhart
Athanasiou-Erod-Pominville
Bailey-O'Regan-Baptiste


We are fast.

I don't care about Hanifin or Skinner.

Not good enough, you're still down 5 points to 1. this is a talent based league, not a feel-good story league, if it was John Scott would have his name on the cup several times.
