Not only do you think Stuart Skinner is worth a 2nd, but that someone else has to retain on a trade involving Campbell.

Impressive.

I find it hard to believe that they would give up on Skinner. Especially for Elvis but I would think Columbus would want Skinner if they made that trade.

I personally think Skinner is a better goaltender than a lot of people on this site.

I think the Capitals would happily trade Kuemper for him.

Even if we assume both Elvis and Campbell are cap dumps, there's no way Columbus even considers that trade.

Detroit isn't going to pay a 2nd for Skinner with Husso and Lyon under contract, and Cossa and Augustine in the system.

Montreal already has too many LD and I don't think McLeod makes sense when taking on extra salary and using their last retention slot.

McLeod is a really important player to the Oilers, they definitely keep him. Servicable 3C at 2.1

Agreed. I’m pretty high on Skinner, and the only way I trade him is for a clear upgrade if one became available, but the chance of that is slim. Skinner is only 25, and still has plenty of years left to grow. Let’s focus on getting him a team, and then we can talk. The Oilers should not be a one line team.

i like you are sending Campbell and Ceci, 2 cap dumps, but we are the team retaining. Jackets FO would get a pretty good laugh out of this offer before they hung up

I thought Elvis was living in Argentina with Jimmy Hoffa?

Well Hoffa is probably dead as he'd be 111 now.

But Elvis would be 88.

Same age as Corey Perry and Blake Wheeler. 🙄

I can only imagine how bad Skinner would be on no defense Detroit? 😬

There is nothing else like the minds of Canadian hockey fans. A whole country that thinks it’s smart than everyone else.
