    Kings would still pass but I think Skinner could be moveable with retained salary. It would probably still take a big sweetener though unless he starts to produce again.

    Scoring 40 in a contract year will do that. I still think he's a 25-30 goal scorer. But poor lineup management and some poor luck has really affected him last year and a half

    Fair enough, I think it's interesting with the North division I lose track of most teams in the States so quickly.

    So strange, I HAVE seen a lot of insecure Leafs fans. Look at the leafs team compared to the Sabres. Eichel is playing his worst hockey and still has 11 points in 12 games. Sit down and go cry when the leafs get swept in the first round again

    That skinner trade is super funny. Buffalo will need to retain 1/2 the salary and include at least a 1st and probably a good prospect to move him. How many years are left on if? 5 or 6 years? Just an ouch for Buffalo. I feel for the fans and org

    What's even worse is that a buyout means the team owning him is on the hook until 2033 (buyout this year) or 2032 (buyout next summer) and the cap hit under either scenario for 2022-2023 is over $8.8 million and for 2026-2027 is over $6.3 million.

    Amuse yourself by using the Buyout Calculator for a buyout this summer or next.

    The guy scored 40 goals two years ago... I get that it's a big contract but the's a proven goal scorer in a bad situation

    We would have to pay a lot more to get rid of these Okposo and Skinner contracts.

    The problem is he’s been bad in buffalo. And there’s no sign he’s going to get better. He should be scoring 40 goals annually for 9m a year. Instead of a 25 goal scorer who spiked one time and then dropped off big time. He’s going to be a cap space anchor for the remainder of his contract. I can’t picture any team taking on the contract unless they get like 3 1sts for it. I mean unless you think he’s going to get back up to value this season. 1 assist in 12 games so far looks like he’s fallen off the rails or has a major injury nobody knows about.
