I’ll speak for Jeff Skinner with the NMC, f*** no.
Also, the Oilers would have zero interest in attaching assets to get rid of one underperforming winger just to waste that cap space on another bad winger in Hall.

Chicago’s not your dumping ground. Move along now. Not enough meat on the bone to accept this nonsense. Good luck elsewhere.

Hey we don’t mind being a dumping ground. But Hall will have value at 50% plus the price to pay to dump a contract. Gotta pay to play.
How about we do Jeff Skinner + 3rd for a 6th or 7th round pick?
Providing Skinner waives which I think is unlikely. We really don't need current Taylor Hall even at 3m. Hall has more trade value to a team with more cap flexibility and a different set of needs. We just had Arvidsson return and Kane is going to come back at some point. We really don't need a winger. We need a 2nd pairing RD.
If the deal the OP posted happened for the record I wouldn't be upset with it. I just don't think we'd get 50% retention on Hall and dump Jeff Skinner without it being a 2nd + prospect and I wouldn't do that.

How does a guy who got bought out get a nmc?
That's brutal for the Oilers

Even worse than your first crack haha.
I’ve got interest in Hall but not much of a chance Skinner signs off on your first deal.

Not at any price but 50% retention is a very good place to start the discussion.
Sam O'Reilly OR Edmonton's 2026 1st, Max Wanner OR Phil Kemp, and STL 2025 2nd for Murphy (50% retained) and Soderblom.
No thanks if the Oilers are spending those kind of assets the return needs to be better.
I personally have no desire to spend assets on a goalie
Not going to get much better than a proven #4 RHD with term and a promising young goalie under 25.
Then I have no idea what games you've been watching.
Do you watch the Oilers? Do you follow the Oilers?
Oilers are winning and goaltending has not been an issue
I would rathere give Rodrigue an opportunity

WTF would Hawks take on Skinner for nothing of real value all while wasting retention slot?

I think Edmonton is stuck with Skinner. I don't see a realistic trade and destination that is going to make him waive the NMC.
I think he'd be more than happy to ride the pine while the team competes for a cup. He wants the playoffs.
