The only way Canes trade Aho is if it starts with Draisaitl. I see McDavid, who is clearly untouchable, and Draisaitl as the only players I would take out of Edmonton. Not really interested in the 1st round pick, RNH or others.

A approximately 30 goal scorer is worth a mid-late 1st and a good prospect at the deadline just for being a rental. A 9th OA for a full season is probably fair value given that. I don't think it would be the best use of Edmonton's 1st round pick though so I could easily see why they wouldn't want to do it.
And before someone says: "Skinner's not a 30 goal scorer"
1) I said approximately.
2) Jeff Skinner has averaged 29 goals / 82 games through his NHL career.
3) He's had 30+ goals 3 times in his career, including 37 goals just last season.
A top 10 pick is not Skinners value. A 1st that falls 15-31st is
No protection is fair
Riiiight. Starts with Draisaitl? LOL
Draisaitl has way more value than Aho.
Give me Aho over Draisaitl any day. They score at the same rate 5v5 and Aho doesn’t get to spend 48% if his time with McDavid. That is even before considering the contracts or age difference.

Let’s hope so. They certainly deserve it.

Not moving a top ten pick for a soft winger with no term after we just traded a comparably soft winger WITH term for Ryan Strome.

Skinner is not soft. Unless by soft you mean bad defensively.
Please let us know more of your opinions about players you clearly don't watch, should make for good entertainment.

I’ve watched Skinner plenty. He’s a good player. He’s not physical, and his concussion history is worrying. He’s not a fit on a Chiarelli team and he’s definitely not worth a top ten pick with so little term left - and you’re dreaming if you think he is.
We just moved Eberle for a much lesser player in the name of cap space. Giving up a top ten pick for what amounts to a one year do-over is not happening.

Been awhile since I’ve heard anyone bring up concussions in a Skinner discussion.

Not much else seems to get through to you, Mr ‘sure a top ten pick is fine value to rent our 6 million dollar winger coming off a sub 50 point season where he was minus infinity’
The value is ‘fine’ for precisely one team in this trade.
I struggle to believe anyone that isn’t a Hurricanes fan actually watches enough of Carolina to accurately comment on the players at an individual level using their own evaluations. Why would anyone subject themselves to watching a bad to mediocre and boring hockey club on a regular basis? I ask myself why I bother sometimes and I’m a fan.
Skinner is soft, in the sense of spinning off checks along the boards and not throwing his weight around on the forecheck. To his credit, he will take the puck to the net on a regular basis. Contrast that with someone like Teravainen, who shies away from contact along the boards, doesn’t throw body checks and doesn’t take the puck to the net on a regular basis. That’s probably the pushback for that comment.

Funny, you didn't get all indignant when an Oiler's fan (who I was responding to with my post) said "Only player out of Carolina for our first round pick starts with Aho"
Aho has way more value than the 9th pick so I expect you'll respond to him with a Riiiight and and LOL, correct?

Skinner is not a highlight reel goal scorer most of the time, even in his 30 goal seasons. He scores a lot of goals around the net, i.e. places soft players often refuse to go to.
Yes, he's small, he's not a power forward, and he got laid out a few times when he was younger for keeping his head down. But he's not a soft player in the slightest. To suggest he is, is just misunderstood armchair scouting based off of past reputation.

Where are the white women at
The old Skinner concussion ploy. It's an oldie but a goodie. Yeah, he's one hit away from this...
If the Canes are moving Skinner, it has to be for a player that can help immediately, and not a magic bean that may or may not help in 3 years. Nice try on the 9 pick, but no. At the trade deadline, that might be good value if the Canes are once again out of the hunt, but not now

As a matter a fact he does and cost .933 a year for the next three years.
Skinner has one year left and then walks away because the oilers need to spend money on d.
