They have a lot of young good players. I really think they should move Skinner if they move Eichel. They arent even gonna be able to have a rebuild with the term on his contract.

That defenetly worsens the return though.

They shed 2M in cap doing this trade. They have cap if they ship of Killorn for a cheap player/picks.

The trade is interesting so I did it from TB perspective, does not work. We are about 7 million over and need to find three good defensemen.

But no cap space. They'd have to refuse this offer.

Thanks for bringing that up. I didnt know that the were so far over the cap. Because from this trade they actually cut 2M in cap.

I have no doubt Foote can step up into a 3rd pairing role.

Also Cernak should be re-signed and can play the 2nd pairing. I'm not sure why you need 3 more good D men.

Maybe add Killorn and a 2nd and Buffalo can throw in Risto half retained?

I'm sure if this is over the cap then not making any trades will land you 4M MORE over the cap.

Ok I just tried from Tampa. With a full roster with D signed you guys are 7M over the cap. Without this trade you guys are 10M over the cap. Tampa's GM sure has his work cut out for him.

This isnt not even remotely close to a good return??
Cirelli is a good mid 6 center nothing more.
Sergachev would be the 2nd best LHD on the team.
And two glorified cap dumps?
Where is there any value for Eichel? If you think Skinner drops the value of the trade ( it doesnt) it wouldnt be this big of a drop

It would be a massive drop. He had worse production than Andreas Johnsson and he costs nearly 3 times as much in a flat cap.

I'd rather have 2 Okposo's than Skinner's albatross contract.

I mean you're taking an outlier year. Skinner routinely puts up 60pts. And had horrible luck but good underlying numbers playing with literal trash this year.
So he is over paid by 1.5 in my opinion. But playing with any capable center he puts up 60 pts plays with an elite center (eichel) he is putting up 30-40 goals.
So I dont think 1.5 even 2 mil over is enough of a blow to not get a serviceable return for eichel.
