1. Skinner is a UFA in 1 year too, genius. Why wouldn't they just keep Panarin if Skinner is the main piece coming back?
2. Gauthier's and Bean's draft positions are irrelevant. Gauthier was getting healthy scratched in the AHL. Bean could still turn out to be something but from what I have read, he hasn't been setting the world on fire in Juniors.
3. I am not a CBJ fan. I just know that they aren't going to trade Panarin for an inferior rental, a bust prospect and an up in the air prospect. The Jackets are in win-now mode. They can get better players with more term than what you offered. ex. Zucker and Nino from the Wild as was proposed in this thread.
1. Maybe CBJ feel more confident they can resign Skinner long term than Panarin, genius.
2. Gauthier isn't a bust but Carolina's cupboard is really full especially on the wing. Everyone also knows PWF take longer to develop. Bean has been developing well.
3. Maybe CBJ feels trading for Zucker would be buying high at this point. I admittedly don't watch him a lot...this could've also been a legit breakout year for him. I'll leave that for Min/CBJ fans to discern. Nino's career average is closer to 40 points is his value that high around the league?
