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.

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

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.

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
