Today. Good deal.
What will he demand after next season.... yikes. Hopefully it stays a “good deal”

Wow, incredible deal. Skinner is an incredible goal scorer with speed. Literally the perfect complement to Eichel. He has a chance to pot 40 thu season if they play together. He also waived to come here, his hometown is Toronto which makes sense. The only thing I’m worried about is his next contract being inflated due to playing with Eichel.

He makes 5.725 now. Gotta imagine his next contract is in the 5.5-7 range. He's 26. I'd give him 5x$6m with little hesitation. Question is will be take it.
And if he's not going to re-up here, then we spin him for at least a 2nd and only lose Pu and a pick or two. Worth the risk, IMO.
Great trade
Makes me hate the ROR trade even more

I hate that they had to give up Pu but you have to make this move. Carolina get a good prospect and the 3 draft picks do not bother me as we own 3 1st next year. Skinner gets you a year with a scorer and maybe they have longer term plans. we will certainly see.
We were just going to swap it for a 6th in 2021, anyway.
We're never picking in the third round ever again either.
In all seriousness, killer deal - and if Skinner waived, I'm guessing he's interested in signing too.

This is the part of the story I can’t wait to hear. The rumors were he was difficult to move because he was rejecting trades. But he waives for the last place team. Now...he’s from Toronto I think so obviously close to home is good. But also maybe that gaping hole next to Jack is worth a try out to him and we have cap space going forward if it works out
His next contract starts at 7.0 on the low end

Eh, or he likes his negotiating position better playing next to Eichel in his contract year.

Really? You think he's worth that much? I mean yeah, he's a speedy 30 goal scorer......but he's pretty one-dimensional in that regard, isn't he?

lol, I had the same thought. For a guy that worked for an org that draft Jake Guentzel, Kris Letang and Matt Murray in the 3rd round, Botts seems to fricking hate picking in the 3rd.
The market has been set by Kane and JVR...
I’m not a skinner fan (doesn’t change the value win of this trade).

I have wanted Skinner for years. We got him for nothing.
Give him 7/49 and he will be our 30 goal winger.
Botts is amazing.

Good point. And yeah, I'm not the biggest Skinner fan.......but he should fit well here and the price was certainly right.
