Trades

PIT

Skinner, Jeff

Additional Details:

I think Buffalo could use another top 4 defenseman to pair with Power or Bryson or the 2nd pair. They have a surplus of young wingers in the system who will be wanting more NHL time. This gets Tuch off the 3rd line and Benson into the top 6.

Who adds in this scenario?

BUF

Karlsson, Erik

Additional Details:

Karlsson has been pretty good for us, however depth scoring is where weve been struggling the most.

Would think Karlsson would only approve to go to a contender or at least a solid playoff team.

Sharks aren't doing that trade.
We're retaining enough for you guys already.

Yeah...no. The Karlsson trade is awful. I agree with the comment above. 1st Karlsson would have to accept the trade somewhere and he is only going to a playoff team. #2 He is an offensive Right Handed Defenseman which does have good value around the league.
