1- Necas costs more
2- Sabres analytics dept nixes a trade for Laughton as his numbers have had significant drops
3- Skinner isn’t going anywhere. Sabres don’t wanna move him, & definitely don’t wanna pay all that it would cost to get a team to take that contract. Plus, Skinner wants to stay close to family/home- this is well known. So unless you’re somehow talking the Leafs into taking him, he isn’t gonna waive.
Maybe- MAYBE- the Sabres buy him out after next season if things don’t go well w him & Lindy Ruff
But a buyout is unlikely to happen now bc financially it makes a lot more sense to do it next offseason
