I wouldn’t want POJ for Tex. We have too many LD prospects as it is, plus, we know even high-end PIT prospects are kind of meh right now.
With Johnson, Marchenko, et al. coming in the next few years (plus whatever our firsts bring us this draft), I’d rather not use the roster spot on him.
That’s…a bit optimistic for Korpi. I’d expect him to fetch a mid-rounder on his own. At this point, he’s nothing more than an insurance policy, with the acquiring team hoping he can pick up a few starts down the stretch to rest the regulars, and maybe catch fire again if called on for a long-term role down the stretch.
Whether we get more from a team like EDM depends on how much they want to save money, and how much CBJ would be willing to take on to improve the pick. All of which is to say, Skinner is cheap enough he could be buried or picked up on waivers if EDM really didn’t want to pay him, and I’m not sure Korpi is an upgrade.
