[Vancouver Canucks]

Maybe a 2C.

 

[TaketheCannoli]

If the Canes want a 1C, they need to be prepared to offer a first pair defenseman. I can't imagine Skinner returning one. Remember the ask for Duchene?

 

[HenrikW]

If he's re-signed to a long-term lucrative contract with interesting add-ons sure

 

[SML2]

Why would you trade a number one C for anything less than a number one C?
Skinner is decent but let's be fair. He hasn't really helped the Canes go anywhere special. I like your Maserati. How about you trade it to me for my Honda? Of course not. The only way this type of deal works is if the 1c in question is a serious head case, is coming off a serious injury, or something else where the market is extremely narrow and hands are tied.

When was the last time when WINGER was traded to 1C?

Add Aho or Hanifin/Slavin and you might get the deal done.

 

[ConnorMcMullet]

Skinner and Faulk for Niklas Backstrom?

Can Jeff Skinner return a 1C? If so, who can he return? Will there need to be add ons or not?

Not by himself. A 1W doesn't get you. 1C.

 

[varano]

I like skinner. Specifically his skating. He has an offensive touch too. But You might only get a 2C for him.

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

I feel like this is a question that didn’t need to be asked.

The answer is obvious.

 

[Lil Sebastian Cossa]

I doubt that Jeff Skinner could return even a good #2C straight up.

He's a 50-60 point winger who isn't exactly young anymore.

 

[SpeakingOfTheDevils]

To land a 1C, Carolina's going to have to part with one of their top defensemen. Sucks, but that's just how it is.

 

[bluedevil58]

I doubt that Jeff Skinner could return even a good #2C straight up.

He's a 50-60 point winger who isn't exactly young anymore.

Ummm he's only 25. What do you define as young? A 18 year old phenomenon like Matthews pre-draft?

 

[Lil Sebastian Cossa]

25 is young, but he's not "unbelievable potential lies ahead". This is his 8th year in the league. He's played 579 games. Jeff Skinner is a very good player, but he's also a completely known quantity. His 25 is FAR different than an average player's 25.

I was speaking more to his tenure in the league. Teams know exactly what Jeff Skinner is, and that's a 50-60 point winger. Normally, you could get more value from a guy like Skinner if he was a year or two into the league and did this because you'd think that he's got the ability to pop 40+ goals or continue to grow. Skinner, at this point, is what he is. And while it's a pretty damn good player, he's not a player worth any 1C or any good 2C.

 

[MinJaBen]

Skinner is defensively disengaged about half the time and runs hot and cold on offense. He is not returning a top line center. If the Canes want to trade him, they should probably target a team with defensive assets that needs a forward, then flip Faulk or another defender to fill the new hole in their forward lineup.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Can Jeff Skinner return a 1C? If so, who can he return? Will there need to be add ons or not?

No, absolutely not.


No team in the league is going to trade a 1C for a 1W, and especially when the 1W isn't even a particularly strong 1W to begin with.


#1C is arguably the hardest position in hockey to fill. When you get one you dont trade them away unless its for a massive return. Hell look at what Matt Duchene just returned and he's not a 1C if you want to be a Stanley Cup contending team.

 

[Critical13]

I want Skinner in TO pretty bad. I think he's still go that 40 goal potential.

 

[DRW204]

If Pacioretty cant return one than Skinner wont

 

[sheriff bart]

I apologize for all Canes fans for this ridiculous thread. Skinner isn't going to snag a 1C.

 

[Primetime8]

Basically only 1 Canes fan thinks he is worth a 1C. Most of us know he can't return that without significant additions to the trade. However, we also realize what he is capable of and that he will probably go on to score 35+ goals for the team he goes to, 30 at the very least.

 

[Joe McGrath]

Skinner doesn’t return a true 1C. I think for the Canes to trade him he would need to return a guy who can be their top offensive center. Jordan Staal is going to play all the heavy minutes so maybe as I suggested on the Canes board an RNH type?

 

[StoneHoffs129]

Not a fan of either team but skinner for nugent Hopkins?

 

[Rorschach]

You can't get a 1C but you might be able to ask for a 1C prospect.

 

[garyturner3]

Short answer: no. Long answer: still no.

 

[rent free]

Skinner and faulk for o reilly and something else.
