Sedin Brothers Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 This has been pretty much confirmed the last two years. Still a great player, lost a step from concussions. Carolina needs depth. Quote to hang up the “For Sale” sign with their roster. The talk around the league is general manager Ron Francis is pretty much willing to discuss everybody, with the exception of a few of the club’s young players. “Ideally, there’s a handful of players they’d keep,” a league executive said. The players the Hurricanes would like to move are familiar. At the top of the list is winger Jeff Skinner, but he has four years left at $5.725 million per season on a deal that runs until 2018-19. We’re told Carolina would even be willing to give a prospect as part of a package to get the contract off the books. A decision on captain Eric Staal and goalie Cam Ward must be made before the Feb. 29 trade deadline as well. Both are unrestricted free agent’s next summer and many don’t believe there’s much of a chance that one or both will be back, especially if Carolina wants Staal to take less money and a short-term. Coach Bill Peters, who may be feeling the heat, scratched veteran forwards Kris Versteeg and Riley Nash for Carolina’s game against the Montreal Canadiens Saturday night. Nobody in Carolina is happy with the club’s lousy record and Peters clearly is trying to send a message with those decisions. “It’s my decision, for sure. We need a different look,” Peters told the Raleigh News and Observer Saturday morning. The Hurricanes could have a much different look after the deadline. http://www.ottawasun.com/2015/12/05/carolina-hurricanes-gm-ron-francis-would-like-to-move-jeff-skinner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RonMexico Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 The salary says enough. 5.725M for 4 more years for damaged goods. They are willing to throw in prospects and picks to get rid of him and you want to give them picks and prospects. Rather bewildering. Carolina can go piss up a rope.

Warhippy Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 People worried about Pedan's future due to concussion issues, worried about Hammer here due to previous concussion issues and will now flood this thread demanding we do everything to get Skinner If eating his contract gets us McKoewn....ya, do it.

terrible.dee Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Not really interested in any of CAR's players, Skinner is decent offense with major drawbacks, Staal? heh, Cam Ward? nah %100 Pass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathew Barzal Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 It's going to be interesting to see what he fetches. His injury history has to put a major dent in his potential worth. He'd look good on a team like the Ducks or Winnipeg who can surround him with big bodies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ilya Mikheyev Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 If Carolina is so desperate to get rid of Skinner, the Canucks may have the cap space going into next year, and if they're also willing to add a future, it might be worth looking into a player with so much potential. The deal would have to be pretty good though considering Skinner's last year and this year's point totals. Skinner + Ryan Murphy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuxfanabroad Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Knew this would happen. Get the feeling the Canes won't last that long in that market. Early-season I proposed targeting him, if Fleury were included. Canes can afford to spend one of their D, with Faulk & Hanifin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
