Id rather do this than just sit Jeff in the pressbox.

He will go back to his 30 goal form and we will look like idiots, again.

I think Nashville declines. The extra years on skinners deal means buffalo has to add and the fact that johansen is a center. In reality both teams are probably stuck with those players for a couple seasons atleast

That Skinner contract might just be the worst signing in history

This isn't just an exchange of bad contracts -- it's an exchange of underproductive players. In outline, it's a really good idea for both teams.

However, Johansen's AAV is $8 million and Skinner's is $9 million. Therefore, the $1 million retention is merely keeping Nashville in the same economic position that they were without the trade for the next 5 years. The problem is that the Preds will be on the hook for Skinner for two more years -- and if you think that he is unproductive now, imagine how that's going to pan out 6 years from now. So I think that Buffalo would have to add significantly to persuade Nashville to accept this burden for the last two years.

Yeah the two years definitely makes a difference. Two really bad contracts

yeah but johansen is still a solid 2 C. Jeff skinner is barely an NHL player at this point
