Project 91

Created by: BuffaloSoldier55
Team: 2024-25 Buffalo Sabres
Initial Creation Date: Apr. 24, 2024
Published: May 1, 2024
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
*USING THE ACGM Most Common #'s from last week*
Stammers - 7.1M but Overpay to 9M
Henrique a vet for the 3rd Line role. 3.9M
Beauvillier - 3rd Line role 4.5M.

The Skinner trade is a more of a cap dump with an effort to get some return.

Tough to not know a 1000 career game/ 0career playoff game value - but he's a 40 goal scorer. Maybe the picks could be higher. Sens probably can view him as a top6 plug and play, Sabres get their refreshing cap space. Skinner gets to move to Canada closer to the cottage for his Jetski ride (presuming it's up in North).

Kastelic is the energy 4th line Center the team needs (Hits '22-23 -154, '23-24 -126)
Boucher is a 10th Overall Pick who may need scenery change after all the injuries - he could be call up ready and add to a loaded Roch Farm who could use a power forward.
RD Matinpalo played a handful of NHL games and could compete for the bottom 6. He's closer than the rest of the RD prospects.(Komarov/Strbak)

That skinner trade is bad. Would cost at least a 1st with him for any team to entertain the idea of trading for him

Very hard to make all parties pleased.
Sens fans think they get the 9M player and the 1st.
Sabres Fans just want the player gone, and value back.
Need to please Skinner to waive NMC, Can only really see, Tor, Ott, Mon as options for him to stay regionally close to fam.

Skinner has had one season where he was debatably worth his contract, and he promptly crashed back to earth this year. Forget the 1st, Ottawa wouldn't even give you Boucher, and Boucher is bad AND always injured.

And those teams don’t want him. He wouldn’t waive for OTT or MtL either.

I like kicking around ideas to get rid of Skinner. Unfortunately, with a full nmc, a contract where he's paid several million more than he's worth (open market price), and a skill set that is...well it's gotta be a fit- a trade seems extremely unlikely.

That's all this is, what is the package that works for him. Skinner just feels like he would be a good Senator (as a Buffalo Fan).

The 1st back is ambitious.

The 1st back is ambitious. I like the prospects/4th liner.

Scrap that pick - how is the package?

We're looking for an already top 4 D to mentor our young LD, not a guy who's a long shot to turn into one, to add nothing of his lack of physical element.

I don't think the Sens are in any position to be taking on Skinner's contract regardless. all the players you asked for are guys I'd be perfectly willing to lose though

Doesn’t matter what Sabres fans on here “want”
Skinner isn’t being moved- the end
