Proposal: Sabres | Blackhawks

[OilerSuperstar17]

I'm a neutral fan but with the Blackhawks going with a rebuild, I thought Buffalo going after the hometown kid could be unique and interesting.

To BUF:

Patrick Kane

To CHI:

Jeff Skinner
Rasmus Asplund (?) (Or another B level prospect)

May be the deal could be extended to include Duncan Keith and one of the Sabres d-men (Miller?). Keith could help mentor Dahlin. I don't know, just a thought.

I'd love to see a Hall - Eichel - Kane line

Do you really think, for one second, the Hawks would trade Kane for that?

 

[UncleOscar]

Skinner was just voted the #2 worst contract in the league and you think him/B level prospect gets a guy who had 110 points two seasons ago and was on pace for 98 last year?

 

[Larry Hanson]

Kane has a big cap hit but he's still one of the best players in the league, Skinner is okay but is grossly overpaid. I doubt the rebuilding Hawks would want Skinner and his long term boat anchor contract for free.

 

[BumDum]

A cap dump and a B prospect for one of the best RWs in the league?

 

[82Ninety42011]

I've seen some doozy proposals over the years here but this one takes the cake. To the OP take a bow you've just raised or should I say lowered the bar for worst proposal ever here !! One of the best wingers in the game still for a boat anchor of a deal plus a B prospect amazing .....

 

[Ledge And Dairy]

Oh boy, that aint it chief.

 

[SRHRangers]

Anyone find the comedy in this that it is from a neutral fan?

 

[Fisticuffer]

There should be a mercy “thread vaporize”option available to the mods. Not just a lock because then it’s still out there for all to see.

Better luck next time friend.

This is a terrible proposal for the Hawks. They massively downgrade at wing to save barely any money, take on a much longer contract, and get a middling prospect as well.

 

[Shocker]

Wow, this is way worse than i even imagined it could be before opening the thread.

 

[TheKrebsCycle]

Incredibly bad. Skinner has huge negative value. Kane has a large cap hit but at least he's worthy of it. Insta pass for Chicago barring huge pluses attached.

Make the prospect one of Quinn/Cozens/Olofsson and retain on Skinner. Then the Hawks might consider it.

Nope too obvious.

 

[Hasekperreault23]

Reinhart 2021 and 2022 Ist round top 5 protected,middlestadt, astound for Kane

 

[Gabrielor]

Any real trade with Buffalo for Kane will probably be:

Chi: Kane with retention

Buf: a massive amount of picks, prospects, and young NHLers


I don't see it either team being interested in that right now.

This is actually the worst proposal I’ve ever seen on here. I’ve seen a lot of bad ones and I know “the worst ever” gets thrown around a lot but this might legitimately be it.

#1 was a Toews....

Skinner will block the trade.

Lock this bad boy up

I get your overall point, but forgive me if I don't take that poll seriously. There is FAR more than 1 player around the league with a worse contract than Skinner. There are a bunch of guys who are in their 30s, already bordering on replacement level, and have several years left with high AAVs. Skinner is in his 20s and scored 40 goals a year ago. The not-stupid money says he'll perform much closer to his contract value over the remaining years than, e.g., Marc Vlasic.

LOL, Toews deal isn’t even the worst on the Hawks, never mind the league.

They should take away the ability to post proposals if someone posts one this bad.

Oh Boy.

A) Skinner has a NMC and is just as disinterested in being part of a rebuild as Kane is. Zero chance he waives. At 27yo, He's also already aged out of the core the Hawks are planning to build around.

B) Asplund is not the difference in value that makes CHI even consider this. He MIGHT be an NHL bottom-6 fwd... Maybe.

C) Keith, at 37yo is not a need in BUF, he's too expensive has a full NMC & is a diminishing asset. He's also a LH shot which does not make him an ideal partner for Dahlin. Pass, not a fit.

Any deal for Kane to BUF starts w/ Reinhart or Cozens and includes at least one other A- Prospect and/or a high pick...

** Starts with.

Fine we’ll throw in Okposo and a 6th rounder. Better?
