Skinner is the better player at the moment.

Yeah can't see that happening, might even get a giggle from Adams just before the dial tone.

Buffalo isn’t trading Skinner for Tavares and then also giving you a mid 1st and a 2nd for that right
Quoting: Tjm220
One might say the only other city he’d consider waiving for might be Buffalo...I agree! His uncle John played here as well

I'd bet 100,000 on the over buddy maybe more the $100,000.

Guy has literally been a consistent 25-30 goal guy his entire career...yes he has
IMO this deal is worth considering.
Jeff has certainly played beyond my expectations this year, not with his goals but with intensity he brings to the game.
John is paid more than Jeff but his contract expires two year earlier, so it may be in Buffalo's interest to increase the cap the next three years, to reduce it when Quinn, Peterka etc. ELC's expire.
Buffalo needs a player who can win FO's, only O'Reilly had a higher FO% than John this past year and had 6 more goals and 18 more pts than Ryan.
With Olofsson as John's LW, Victor may score more goals than Jeff did this year and could reach 40.

JT was never my hero, I saw this was a bad signing from day one and have create many ACGMs to explain it over the passed 3 seasons.
Looking at your trade you move Mrázek with the Vegas pick to get Colorado's first.
So Mrázek + Vegas 1st ~ FLA 1st.
I am sure most Sabre fans would like this even less but Tavares + Mrázek for Skinner + FLA 2022 first + Vegas 2023 2nd
Buffalo gets 2 top 15 picks in this years draft and another player help them reach the floor.
Bottom line I would not laugh at this deal as it gives Buffalo a top center while only trading away my favorite Sabre LW of all time and first in a soft draft.
Now you can all lambast me.
