Proposal: Brassard for Skinner @ 3 mil

[LeafGrief]

Put me down as a +1 in the "Skinner is way better" club

I know I would rather have Skinner on the kings. But that's because LA needs more goal scoring than it does center depth.

So I see the sophisticated fanboys on here have graduated from "Skinner is one hit away from quadrapalegia, so give him to us for a bucket of warm piss" to "Skinner and his 30 goals a year just plain sucks, so how about that warm piss now"

HF Boards progress?

Brassard got that value with 2 Playoff runs left on his deal. Canes are asking for a better package right now for the better player with only 1 year left.

"Lower valued positions in the league"... that is a completely asinine way to devalue Skinner. Positions are important if a team has a void, but any team looking at Skinner is a Cup contender adding him for secondary scoring. Skinner is one of the best secondary scorers in the league. His Primary Points % over the past 3 years is something like 89%, 2nd to only Malkin for top line players. He'd be a demon on Pittsburgh's 3rd line playing weak competition.

It seems Skinner isn't exempt from the truism about wingers being one of the lower valued positions in the league.

Out of curiosity, would you (or any Canes fan) have preferred this deal or the Buffalo one?

The sweet, sweet satisfaction of being right. You enjoy it, Warm Cookies. You enjoy it. Bathe in their wrongness.

Skinner only giving Waddell a small handful of teams to which he’d ok a deal plays a very big part here...

As a pens fan...I'd rather have Brassard than Skinner anyway...as he plays a more important posistion and produces around the same points and isn't horrible defensively like Skinner.

How on earth did I know you’d revive this thread OP?
