Description

One troubled winger for another! Is Skinner's lack of production + high cost enough to make this deal workable?

They have very similar points/game over their careers, Skinner leans more towards Goals, which is what Montreal has been starved for.

Trades

MTL

Drafted by Seattle

SEA

Allen, Jake

MTL

For Jeff Skinner; Buffalo retains $1,750,000 cap hit, and saves as much in the process. They exchange one troubled player for another with 1/3 the term and a bit cheaper.

BUF

Drouin, Jonathan

Additional Details:

Montreal hopes to cash in over the long term with Skinner's production leaning more towards G than Drouin's.

Skinner probably have the worst contract in the league... And you trade Drouin for him whos still a 50pts + winger at only 5,5 for 2 years. That is called reaaaally bad assets management. Thank god youre not gm

Yeah Montreal isn't doing what a Leafs fan dreams of LMAO! Drouin is 10 x better than Skinner and his contract is 100 x better. No way Habs do this.

Oh come on

Yes JD is having somewhat of a down year (on pace for 40 instead of 50) but he has almost double Jeff's point total and is 3 years younger like come on broseph

It's hilarious that JD only has 4 fewer goals lol

Despite a crazy low sh% and the inverse skillset!

Even retained it's way more term and money

Montreal are dunzo if they make that deal like it's just wayyy too many bad aging contracts: over 30M$ committed to Price Weber JoshA Sknner alone 😵

It's basically demanding Caufield becomes a better version of DeBrincat and Romanov becomes the gen z answer to Sergei Zubov to offset that wasted $$$$$

Then sticking JS opposite another sniper no less 🤨

Y'all just love unloading on Drouin 🙄

We get it

Find another punching bag maybe?

Yeesh

😒

A little sobering that he has to be compared to Jeff freaking Skinner to finally get complimented on this website lol but hey me and my boi Jonny D will take it 😎
