Why are the sabres giving up the first + when they take back 2x more bad salary than they give Nashville for nearly the same amount of time. Skinner isnt that bad. Nashville pays here

Because NSH is taking the longest, most expensive, contract, and getting by far the worst player? I don't think the draft pick compensation makes sense (I can't see BUF making a 1st part of the return), and don't think either team considers something around this proposal, but it's a unique idea.

This is a terrible trade for Nashville. Johansson and Skinner both make less than Skinner and are both still good players, just overpaid, Skinner at this point is a fairly bad player. Nobody would really blink at Duchenne or RyJo if they made 5.5 million. If you take 2.5 million off Skinner's contract, everyone still hates him at 6.5.

Nashville would be crazy to do this trade

Skinner isnt that bad, Buffalo has 0 interest. Its 1 extra year and Nashville get the cap relief for almost the entirety. Thats horrific for Buffalo
