Brown plus a 2nd should about do it.Carolina would have to add before Dubas even considered such a thing.

Skinner scored 37 two years ago under then Assistant Coach (now HC) Rod Brind’Amour. He’s motivated in a contract year. The Canes will likely only move him in a hockey deal for an impact player that fits the team better. As the article says, the Canes price has been high.
Oh Pu. An impact player you say?
That proposal was bad? You just saw a real world trade of scraps for Skinner; tell me how it was bad?Waddell making a questionable trade doesn’t change the fact that that proposal was bad and didn’t contain the impact players he claimed to be including.
Dundon has said that he's willing to spend but he wants to do so wisely. He's also said he that he wants to put his money on the ice. Picking up DeHaan to further bolster an already deep defense at $4.55m per seems to be a fair indication that he's willing to do that. But hey, you've apparently locked onto a narrative, don't let any facts get in the way of it!
According to LeBrun at the draft, the asking price from MTL was 2 2nd rd picks. MTL apparently balked at that price. I’d rather keep Rask, at least until the team has an idea of Necas can do at the NHL level.
His value is probably somewhere around a 2nd rd pick plus b prospect. I’m not sure it really makes sense to trade him for that though unless Dundon really wants to be rid of his contract. Rask is a viable NHL C with 2 40pt seasons under his belt. He’s just coming off of a really bad season.
Looks like he just cut the budget and got random futures back for Skinner. de Haan is also cheaper than Faulk, so that looks like a cost cutting move if you're subbing one in and swapping out the other for more futures.
CDH and Faulk play opposite sides. There is no “swapping out” or “cost cutting” going on there. Hamilton made Faulk expendable because he’s a much better player.
Oh Pu. An impact player you say?
Well, it's actually Hanifin and possibly Faulk out, Hamilton and de Haan in.
Dubas needs to get Faulk done right now while Carolina is still drunk, because they are givng their players away for NOTHING
Hey I have qualified myself a million times by saying that Skinner also has a NMC and if I were him I’d limit my options to teams willing to pay me. Wouldn’t be surprised to see Skinner sign a $7 million+ extension soon.
You are totally correct though at this moment. Let’s see what the total picture is related to these assets in a few days or weeks. The Canes aren’t done, Faulk is getting moved soon.
I’m fully aware of that. Both players coming in are upgrades.
I'm going to go on record in saying that in a few years, this deal will look like an absolute steal for Carolina. Skinner will either not re-sign with Buffalo or will re-sign with a huge contract and not live up to it. Pu will become a very good NHLr on an ELC. If I'm wrong, either nobody will remember this post or I'll no longer be on HF so won't care.
