If he can handle not being a powerplay priority and is willing to put the effort in on the defensive side of the systems play, he should be fine

He will probably score 25 plus some say no defense
But he was only minus 2 last season and plus double digits year before

He has great edges but he’s actually not very fast at all.

I'm not sure if you could trade Kane right now because it would be higher risk for the team that traded for him and I am not sure if league rules allow you to trade a player with serious injury?

The last three seasons Skinner has scored more than Tavares, Marner, Marchand, Kardi, Boeser, Konecny, and countless others.
He was also -1 over three seasons on a team that was -61, so he can't be that bad.
I feel like people still associate him with his 19-20, 20-21 seasons.

Yeah, that's what I remember about his scouting report. Great edges, took figure skating as a kid but his straight line is pretty bad.

Edmonton Ex-Pat who still loves his hometown team.
I know some of you are poo-pooing this signing, but between him and Arvidsson, we just signed a potential combined 50-70+ goals....for 7 million. That's some tidy work by JJ imo.

I think this is a great signing for your team! If he meshes with McDavid and/or Draisatl this will be a steal. I was hoping he would have signed with the Winnipeg Jets

Arvidsson is a good skater. We'll see on Skinner I guess.

Arvidsson is above average, but he's not lightning fast. He's just a guy who is always in good spots on the ice and has an endless motor. You'll never see him blow away from guys on transition, but he can keep up.

Love it. Hope we can get deals like this more often as a contender. Guys signing at a discount looking for redemption, and will come in fully motivated.
Skinners thing has always been speed and agility no? Heard a million times when he won the Calder over Hall about his figure skating background. The wart in his game is how he plays zero defense. Don't think you want Kane and Skinner on the same line.

I'm guessing Henrique wants 2nd line minutes. He won't get that in Edmonton.

I feel like today jj made a point of making sure the top 2 lines have better wingers. I.e. Make sure Drai is happy so that he will re-sign.
I really liked what henrique brought to the team. He played really well in the playoffs. A calm presence when he was on the ice. Would have liked him back. I doubt we can sign him now, but I wish him well where ever he ends up, until they play the Oilers.

this is definitely not a show me deal, guy is a elite proven goal scorer over the last ten years, this is a “I want a shot at the cup” deal. Could have signed a multi year deal elsewhere for way higher salary.
Injuries must be disclosdd and there will be a physical/exam from the other teams doctors, but injured players can be traded, ie. Jack Eichel, 90% of Arizona's cap hit over the last 20 years

Doesn’t seem realistic, unless he has a ton of injuries. If it’s just the sports hernia we’ve been told about, then he should be healthy by October.

Thanks, wasn't sure about that. I know that in the past there have been claims about non-disclosure but it can be a difficult thing to prove especially with less serious injuries.
I doubt Kane is going anywhere but we shall see.
If
If Skinner is on a line with McD and Hyman, they will be too busy scoring and no time for defence.
Saves money on jerseys.
Will be a hoot listening to Michael’s keeping track during the game calls.
