I disagree with that ..when it took since Vanek to find a snaper to hit 40 + goals

I like Skinner, just not at 9M+. He’s a one dimensional player. He hasn’t scored in 9 games and he does nothing else on the ice that provides any sort of impact. Goal scorers are needed though and he provides value when he is scoring but there is a price for everything imo.

This also perfectly describes Laine

Which is why they were trying to move him at the deadline and will NOT be offering him a megadeal

He has 36 goals when the last time we had some one like that ?

I have a felling Casey , Ristolainen will be moved for Point at the draft
- gerbe75pts

I agree.

Just hope that point isnt a complete product of being surrounded by great players.

Seems like a fair trade

He's tied for 5th in the league in scoring.

I'm not opposed to shying away from a big cap hit for him, but the "not scoring goals" part is simply not factual.

The last time we had a "star" that disappeared in the most important part of the season??? pretty often

He did that one year where he was “done” “ washed up” and mysteriously almost traded to Buffalo and then he woke up lol

Honestly he’s probably dealing with an injury imo but he’s not the problem

Twitter had some interesting thoughts in regards to Jack's celebrations after he scores.

Apparently he celebrates by himself. Kinda ignored skinner?

Jack knows skinner is gone. Giving him the "captain" treatment?

I didnt notice this at the game last night.

I’m not worried about Patrick Laine at all that could be a trade that puts this team on the map he could be a combination like back in the day with LaFontaine and mogilny or my Day Corey Perry and Ryan Getzlaf

He is a great goal scorer. But what would he cost?

I am not saying he is bad, but at the price tag he is probably going to get... you don't want a goal scorer, scoring 4 goals from 12/1-2/20

gee...more excuses…."its ok you haven't scored in 9 games...we still love you...heres 9 million"

Never
