I know you're trying to maximize return but if you are taking Duchene and Johansen from Nashville then we don't need any retention on Skinner. If Fabbro was part of the deal, it'd be a cap neutral move. Nashville wouldn't ask for retention as it would cost them more prime pieces.
Also, Nashville is rebuilding and trading 4 1st (Tomasino, Fabbro, 2022, 2023) isn't a smart way for us to do it. Would love Eichel but mortgaging the future to get him when we aren't going to win in the present is a bad plan.
