Konecny is certainly a target worth looking at, but unless he's coming with an extension, no way I would give up this much. If you could move Skinner for that, by all means do. Even at 7.5m, nobody is taking him, and he's not agreeing to move anyways. I'm not even going to get into somebody taking Skinner for his veteran leadership. I'm trying to make sense of Cole here, I understand wanting a veteran that is physical for the third pair, but he's gonna be 36, and he's yet another lefty, plus you still have ryan johnson and jokiharju here. If that's what you are going for, would it make more sense to move johnson and jokiharju for a better, younger version of Cole, maybe even a right shot one that could play with power, and then have Samuelsson play on the third line with Clifton. Roy, trenin, and Joshua all sound like very good ideas.

When I think of cap dumps, I think a mid first round pick for every 5 million the player is owed sounds right. Skinner isn't a straight cap dump, but he isn't worth anywhere near 9m. If a team values the goals he scores, despite the warts, maybe they value him at 5-6m. He's not gonna be everybody's cup of tea. So minimally you are looking at at least another first or equivalent. Plus, Rosen may not be the compensation another team wants, he's an undersized (skinny) skilled forward that is learning a two way game, but his offense doesn't jump off the page in the ahl. Not to throw shade at the guy, but if I was Chicago's gm, and you are selling me on an undersized forward with mid first value, I want him to be near ppg in the ahl (it's not his first ahl season). I guess I'm saying, if Terry won't let adams retain, and he wants Skinner gone (I actually don't think pegula wants Skinner gone btw), it's going to cost additional pieces, and that/those pieces are going to hurt.
