Does Jeff Skinner play defense?

 

[GirardSpinorama]

Does Jeff Skinner play defense?

Does the 9th overall pick?

 

[oXo Cube]

Does the 9th overall pick?

Maybe?

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

Value might be fine but this doesn’t make us better any time soon.

 

[TorontoTrades]

Does the 9th overall pick?

Uh... probably, if you draft a defenseman.

 

[bluedevil58]

It doesn't really fill a need. Drais fills a need. Not what it would take to get him though or even if he is available.

 

[Canovin]

The most I'd trade is a 2nd round for Skinner

 

[EDMOILERS9729]

Sorry, not trading a top 10 pick for a one dimensional winger entering ufa after a year.

 

[Ctrain2k]

Wouldn't trade a 1st unless it was in the 20s.

How generous of you.

 

[Cassano]

Sorry, not trading a top 10 pick for a one dimensional winger entering ufa after a year.

Just because Chia trades 1st line wingers for scraps, doesn't mean other teams have to.

 

[Wayne Primeau]

Seems reasonably fair, but I don't really see a fit in Edmonton. I think a guy like Taylor Hall would be a better choice

 

[GoldiFox]

That’s about the rental value of Skinner. I don’t think Edmonton would be the one to pay it though. I doubt anyone does before UFA rolls around, where JVR/Kane/Neal can be had for only Cap space.

 

[ConnorMcNugesaitl]

Doesn't make sense for Edmonton to trade for a rental.

It also doesn't make any sense to take on Skinner without sending salary back.

I would say it's also a bit too much for rental skinner I think 9th overall is more valuable than the late 1st round pick and a prospect plus conditional pick if he signs that he's probably worth at the deadline.

Then again you're dealing with Chia and the empty chair he'll be negotiating with is likely a more competent GM than Chiarelli is.

Only player out of Carolina for our first round pick starts with Aho

 

[Dump Itch]

Does the 9th overall pick?

Probably more than Skinner?

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

Only player out of Carolina for our first round pick starts with Aho

Starts with Aho? As in it would require more than him to acquire your first?

 

[XXIV97]

If the Oilers drop to 10/11 in the lottery tomorrow, I would trade it for Skinner.

RNH-MCDAVID-X
X-DRAI-SKINNER
LUCIC-STROME-PUL

 

[Pukboy5kroner]

Here I thought this was bad for the Canes.

 

[Ck1]

Starts with Aho? As in it would require more than him to acquire your first?

No as in aho and the first pick would be the core pieces to the deal other pieces could or would be added to the deal. I see Aho as the only player I would take out of Carolina for the reason of being able to play him with pool party. Not really interested in skinner or Faulk like others

Pretty much. Pick won’t be for 2018 most likely. Canes will get a 2019 pick for Skinner since the trade market opens up after FA.

 

[McShogun99]

2019 1st, lottery protected is fair to rent Skinner for a season.

 

[boredmale]

Value might be fine but this doesn’t make us better any time soon.

Not even sure value is good for the Oilers, Skinner is a UFA next summer

 

[bleedgreen]

Don’t know if I’m feeling it as a Canes fan. They’re not rebuilding and Skinner is a pretty good trading piece.

More likely to be a player for player swap.

Value isn’t bad.
