Sens definitely don't need to lock into a guy like Rackell, who'd be a 3rd liner, for that term or cap hit. Easy pass

Skinner blocks. PHI, OTT, SLC all reject.

Full NMC for Skinner unfortunately. Only way he leaves Buffalo is via buyout. But if he didn't? I would do that in a heartbeat to get out of his cap hit.

50% retained on Rakell and we'd be interested.

Rakell isn't a bad player but is definitely not worth nearly as much money as he's being paid. You'll have a very hard time moving that contract even if Pittsburgh were to retain, which would be a tough pill to swallow.

In all honesty the Pens might be stuck with him if theyre not willing to view him like a cap dump.

He'd have to approve the buyout too. You would absolutely not want to do that trade as is

Why do you think Skinner would block?

Because he got a NMC for a reason and the Penguins team are likely LESS of a threat to make the playoffs than the Sabres.

Why are you blowing away Graves only a year into his signing? That's not a good sell.

The NMC is more so that he can control where he goes, not a dying need to stay in Buffalo. The Sabres have not made the playoffs in 13 years, it's not a given they will make the playoffs until they actually do. The Sabres are looking to hire more of a hard ass as a coach this time around which does not really match with Skinners game/personality so he may be looking for a way out. He would get the play with Crosby in Pitt.
