Love it. Highway robbery.

 

[truthbluth]

Whoa whoa whoa
I mean...he waived...to come here.

 

[Zman5778]

That's dirt cheap. Nice deal.

 

[stokes84]

Ahhhh, it finally happened. Everything's coming up stokes!

 

[SabresFan26]

Another good deal by Botterill. Added speed and skill and still have 4 1st rounders!

 

[dkollidas]

Nice. Real nice.

 

[Push Dr Tracksuit]

Wow, well then.

 

[BuffaloGooner]

Woah. I like this.

 

[Zman5778]

If Skinner does re-sign here, that's a dirt cheap price for a legit top 6 guy.

Yeah, he's going to drive us nuts with his diving......but he's a legit winger for Jack/Casey

 

[SabresFan26]

24 goals and 20 of them at even strength.

 

[Sabre the Win]

Yay love Skinners game, sad to see Pu go but we have tons of center prospects.

 

[1972]

Even if it’s a rental we are returning a late first or second for him, so it’s a nice trade.

I am a huge Skinner fan, he can score goals.

 

[enthusiast]

dope, esp at the price

 

[hizzoner]

Yeah--but that 6th round pick....

 

[haseoke39]

Soooooooo

Is he worth more at the deadline, or.......

 

[ckg927]

Though I'd have loved to see Cliff Pu in the blue and gold, center was just way too clogged for him to break through.

And we know the deal with draft picks...

 

[ZZamboni]

Woah!!!

 

[Waterfowlist]

What a great price.

 

[jBuds]

Why the discount?

 

[The Wizz]

What are the odds of him resigning?

 

[Sansbacon]

Holy Pu!

 

[Jame]

Nice job Botts!

Beauty of this, let's say he's rental. If we are out of the playoffs in Feb., we can easily grab a second and a bit more for him if he's having a decent year. It's a nice move.

Great point, hopefully he re-signs to a reasonable contract or if his negotiations aren’t great we move him for a 1st at the deadline or near NHL ready prospect. We turned some quanity into quality.
