Varlamov, Andrighetto, conditional pick on Varly's GP. Avs re-sign Bernier. Could be a win-win. Also think Skinner would waive for Colorado since him and Landeskog were teammates/roommates in junior.
Rumor: Jeff Skinner has blocked multiple trades

I could see Skinner waiving his NMC for a place like Colorado. I bet it'd suit him.
If we were able to speak with his agent and confirm that he was at least open to an extension rather than testing UFA, Varlamov at 50% retained plus 2018 16OA Martin Kaut. Little bit of help now, little bit of help later.

LOL- No, I am not blown away that he has one. Just about everyone on Chicago has one.

As Canes fan--I like this. Probably as good a goalie as Carolina is going to get and the retention makes it a decent price. Kaut gets compared to Hossa--even if he is a budget version he will be an excellent replacement when Williams retires.

Varly isn't for sale, Sakic just said as much 1 day ago. He wants depth especially since we were down to our 3rd in the POs. I also find it highly unlikely that Kaut would be traded just 3 days into his Av tenure.
Between Varly, Gru, Francouz and wanting to re-sign Bernier...they're going to have a crowded crease if they don't move someone.

Jesus. I guess it had to show up eventually.

You can't just ignore the fact he is a risk.

It’s always a risk with ANY player. Skinner played 82 games last year and has only missed 3 games the last 3 seasons. He’s durable.
Unsustainable
Seth Jarvis is Elite
This is great
He scored 37 that season I think
This ‘article’ was posted in August 2016. Skinner scored 37 goals in the 16-17 season. Good for fourth in the league. His 30 even strength goals tied for second.

Maybe he doesn’t want to move twice in two years?
Unless he has agreed beforehand to an extension he could be moving somewhere for a season then move again as a UFA.
I have watched this board for years but never created an account. I did so just to say how sad I am to have my personal favorite player the last few years turn hell. I know he has the clause, and he completely has the right to use it... But at the end of the day I root for the laundry not the guys inside. I look forward to him teaching the young guys that being minus-30 is a good thing
I read TWO direct quotes prior to the Canes/Flames trade from their GMs about NOT trading Hamilton and NOT trading Hanifin so I don’t really know who to trust anymore.
I go by a rule that says anytime a GM says words that are meant to imply that nothing is happening without saying it outright, something is happening.

When was the last time Skinner even had a concussion? looking at his past 5 seasons he's been really healthy. It's like worrying about Crosbys concussions.

It’s not being taken seriously by anyone here but the Canes local media has clearly stated that no trade has been taken to Jeff Skinner to approve as of Sunday afternoon.
Canes media has never lied, and they don’t specifically state who told them. After following the team for so long I have never had a reason to doubt the local media. They are not prone to being duped, are not remotely sensationalistic, and never really say anything at all other than things that are known to be true. It is a new regime, so we will see if something has changed but I do believe them until proven guilty.
It’s been years since Skinner had a concussion, and years since he played a style prone to getting them. He just stopped taking the middle from the right side with fancy moves. He’s pretty exclusively on the left now, and when he does attack on the right he drives wide or pulls up.
He’s one of the Canes most durable players. He works very hard in the off season. I don’t really want him gone.

I want to see Skinner surrounded by better talent under a new coach (RB). He can score. He is great at stripping/stealing pucks. I’ve seen him play passable defense (two seasons ago). I want him to be part of the solution. Let’s see where Carolina is at the deadline and deal then if necessary.

I seriously doubt he cares what his perceived trade value is. Its clear the only thing he cares about right now is where he plays.
I wonder who and what trades hes squashed so far?
I get an inkling feeling an Oilers trade was one of them.
