Canes get Jake Gardiner in return.
Pleasure doing business
As much as the leafs could use the hometown boy they aren't in a position to trade a D for a F. Even if that D is banned from playing game 7's going forward.
Dont really feel like looking at the other pages so sorry if this has been asked but what would Carolina want for Skinner from AZ
That D is practically a forward. Capable of putting up points but just not what the team needs now.
The way I see it, Babs still wants Ds playing on their strong side, making Dermott a capable 2nd pairing LD to replace Gards.
I’ve gone as far as proposing:
Nylander + Gardiner for Slavvin + Skinner
on the Leafs board.
Apparently one of Colorado's writers heard they offered the 16th pick plus for Skinner, but Carolina asked for 16th + Jost. I think it was in one of their podcasts so I don't have a direct link. I seen someone mention it on the Avs board.
It might have been mentioned already, but I didn't see it here.

Yep, sell high if you can. Might not end up making many deals though.That would jive with the reports out of Carolina that Waddell is over-valuing the Canes assets. Waddell just said that his phone is ringing off the hook, so you can't blame him.
Slavin is as untouchable as Matthews. You'd be better off targeting Hanifin at that valuation.
Gardiner is the type of player the Canes are currently trying to trade (Faulk and Hanifin). There is no fit for him in Carolina. They already have Slavin, Hanifin, Haydn Fleury, and Jake Bean at LHD.
AJ Haefele from BSN Denver said yesterday that Joe Sakic asked for Skinner was told Tyson Jost + 16OA pick.
So a 20yo center with top 6 upside + a mid round first pick.
If that's the asking price he's going to stay in Carolina.
According to what Waddell just said, they aren't trying to trade Hanifin. Could be all lip service, but he said their goal is to sign him long term and the whole "Hanifin is being shopped" is because one team called Waddell about him then leaked it to the media.
Skinner on the other hand, he pretty much insinuated he'd be moved.
That's the kind of asking price that gets your number blocked, not the kind of asking price that gets the conversation started.Asking price =/= final sales price.
Too strong. On the table might have been better. While Waddell said their goal was to sign Hanifin long-term, he didn’t exactly shut down the possibility of a trade.
That's the kind of asking price that gets your number blocked, not the kind of asking price that gets the conversation started.
Ouch, that’s a lot for a just 1 guaranteed season of Skinner. If that was on the table for Skinner, CAR takes that all day but COL rightfully balks.
Jost is an interesting player. Wasn’t he drafted as a C?
Nah, that's how fan's on HF look at it, that GM's get offended by high asking prices, but I bet it happens way more than people think and GMs know the game.
Sakic was asking for a 1st round pick, a NHL ready high potential defenseman, and a top prospect for Duchene and MANY fans of other teams all said the same thing, the asking price is ridiculous, he'll get his number blocked, blah, blah, blah. Teams still negotiated with him and he eventually got pretty much what he was asking for.
I don't think Skinner would ever get that return though (1st + Jost), so I agree with you on that. I think it's probably a deadline type deal or slightly better, which is a mid-late 1st and a decent, but not top, prospect or depth player, but have no issue with a GM's initial ask being higher.
Jeff Skinner fits in with the Colorado Avalanche or the Los Angeles Kings,He only fits in San Jose if the Sharks lose out on Tavares and Kovalchuck
Can you imagine...Skinner and Kane....Wings of Redemption.
Those guys both had some electric skill and some serious hype entering the league
I don’t see the appeal for SJ.
Your 2 highest paid forwards would be $7 million LWs Jeff Skinner and Evander Kane? Good luck. Better be nailing your Draft picks. And I say this as a Canes fan that would love the demand for Skinner to include the Sharks.
Or they should target Panarin, who is much better than Skinner
It’s actually bad for both teams.That's so bad for Carolina
