My take would be they are preparing for next year

Teravainen 6,5 M
Ferland 4,5 M
Aho 6,5 M
McGinn 2,5 M

which gives 20 M in total

no, because they’re getting rid of their offensive depth and downgrading the defense

Don’t understand why they were shopping him in the first place.

Did anybody really think Don Waddell was suddenly going to be a good GM?

Getting ready to move to Houston.

This is what happens when you play to 50% capacity and operate in the red. They lowballed Hanifin and Lindholm. They wouln’t take it so they moved them. Skinner was understandable. 1 year left and they coukd not afford to re-sign him with Aho and TT coming due too,

Who knows, maybe today’s trade was the prelude to other deals that help form something good in NC? Well, just a thought anyways...

Great question, the return they got for Skinner makes me happy though because everyone on this site overvalues players with NTCs/NMCs and it's nice for reality to kick in for a change. They're basically at the cap floor. Faulk is on his way out, that's inevitable. But who they get in return is the question.

maybe now MTL and CBJ fans will stop acting like Patches and Panarin are worth 3/4 of a new team, + $1 billion, and a new 777x.

Skinner was out the door, everyone knew it. Did they get good value for him. Not sure the player seems injury prone. The draft picks mean little. At least they got something for a player they couldn't resign. It's not like they are going to compete for the cup this year anyway.
