Don't mess this up Carolina, want to see them in the playoffs next season.

 

[CBJx614]

He'd be a good fit in Columbus, don't know about the price though.

 

[Empoleon8771]

I think you know at least 1 or 2 of those teams who are late stages of discussions based on this.

 

[DRW204]

Will be interesting to see what he goes for... LA and COL have to be in the mix. Wonder what this does for Patches and his value

 

[Bazeek]

It's dregerspeak, but:

Could see a few things go down once Skinner moves, considering the number of LW's on the market.

 

[Goulet17]

A media related source in Denver indicated that the Avs inquired about Skinner but lost interest when Carolina asked for the 16th overall pick in this draft and Tyson Jost.

I think that it may be some indication that Carolina's price is high.

 

[Unspecified]

If Dallas can get him without giving up the 13th pick i will be ecstatic! A pipe dream i know.

 

[SteadyFreddie]

I'd love to see Skinner with the Blues

 

[BA Carroll]

It's one of Berglund/Sobotka, plus one of Thompson/Kostin, plus Walman and a 2nd.

Blues fans have stated on several occasions that they didn’t need a LW.

Habs fan offered Pacioretty but Blues fans shutdown LW talk.

Pacioretty is a much better all around scoring winger than Skinner. Skinner is not strong defensively. Pacioretty brings more defense along with PK mins. Can produce the same, on top of that come in a little cheaper cap wise.

 

[Gargyn]

Skinner to the Avs

 

[BA Carroll]

I'd love to see Skinner with the Blues

I hope we sign Grabner, too. Speed speed speed.

 

[harrisb]

To Ottawa for Anderson, no take backs

 

[Little Psycho]

Cmon Dreger, list the teams!

Guessing it might be hard to convince Skinner to waive his NMC to go to Ottawa, but maybe not. I know you were being sarcastic.

All depends on acquisition cost. Fans are ok getting a LW, just not moving the top-end assets for one, unless it's for a signed Panarin.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Something tells me we Canes fans are going to be very disappointed in the return if/when Skinner is moved. It seems the new management team is hell bent on trading him, which doesn't seem to bode well. Hope I'm wrong.

 

[bauer]

I hope Hextall is in on this.

wich you don't have the piece for.

That’s because Habs fans insisted on Thomas being included for Patches. That’s why it was so roundly rejected by Blues fans.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

This was from a couple hours ago. EDIT: The "not asked to waive" part is a couple hours old, not the top part of the tweet.

 

[HighNote]

We do.

MTL fans kept making threads of deals including Thomas which was a no-go for STL, which somehow led to the conclusion that Patches has no value

Blues fans are probably fine with acquiring Pacioretty, but not at the insane, alternate-universe prices Habs fans were INSISTING on.
