Carolina got the best they could for a player that was likely not to re-sign I think Skinner will want to continue playing with Dahlin and Eichel. Buffalo will be hugely improved this year.

Quantum Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 DONT FORGET THAT DON WADDELL RAN THE THRASHERS INTO THE GROUND MAKING BAD DEALS! -- Good deal for Buffalo. They're clearly going for a Playoff Spot this year after securing Dahlin. Skinner is a 1 year rental, sort of like Kawhi Leonard of the NBA's Toronto Raptors. Instead of overpaying at the deadline, Buffalo pays for Skinner now and then spends the year trying to convince him to sign long term/see if he's a good fit for them long term. Carolina gets a bit of an underwhelming package for Skinner, the face of there franchise for the last few years, but he's essentially a rental so they got a pretty okay haul. Nothing spectacular but nothing to ride home about either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont disagree, curious timing for the deal. I wonder if CAR could have gotten more at the deadline. Hard to say. Maybe a Faulk deal is coming soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldnews Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 A far cry from what the reported expectations (delusional) of a return for Skinner were. A bluechip and a 1st.....became a 2nd, 3rd and 6th. Oh well, suck it Carolina. You're dead to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCNate Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Wow, good deal for Buffalo. Pu would be about our 7th best prospect. They didn't give up much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ossi Vaananen Posted August 2, 2018 Author Share Posted August 2, 2018 Shows the value of picks now. I think Pu is a sure-fire top 9 forward. The futures help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noseforthenet Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 We should see if Pu is available for the Canucks. In a couple of year's time we could see the dreaded "Woo to Pu" combo!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 I thought Carolina was seeking to get "better" players for the ones they had? Wasn't that the word out of their new ownership = a lack of patience with results and an intent to win sooner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then we traded Peca for a Mogilny and I was always a big Peca fan too. BUF will be a really good team soon. Next cpl years they'll be a playoff team and sky is the limit after that. Dahlin has really put them over the top for up and coming teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rekker Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 I'm surprised the Canes couldn't get more. At least a grade A prospect or a first rounder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pu, 2nd, 3rd, 6th for a 50 point player that will probably command $6+M over 6 or 7 years. That's actually a decent haul IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pears Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Pretty scary to think that Buffalo still has 3 1sts next year they could use to acquire a piece to put them over the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
