You think the Oilers can move an severely underperforming 3M cap hit without adding?

They should play him when the other team is collapsing low in front of their tender. Skinner has a fast stick and can get shot off quickly
I don’t think it would be that hard. He’s only on the books this season and does have a recent track record of being effective at scoring.

What goalies does Stan think are going to be left at the deadline?
New GM, same blind spot.

Is Kosko signed? I wouldn't mind bringing him back as a last resort
Who needs competent goalies man. Below average is acceptable here
As someone who's defended Matheson's game over the years, he's not Nurse. He's a guy you wouldn't mind having if you didn't have a guy like Nurse though.

Yeh I can’t see it happening. Especially with 9Mish in cap coming from accrual and Kane.

Maybe you could sell Skinner on some nice Cali weather and swap him for Frank Vatrano.
Not seeing it with Arvidsson. Will give it a few more games but if it's not coming that's too much of a contract commitment for a player that's filling no team need.
John Gibson would help us a lot more than what he's bringing
Arvidsson + 2nd for Gibson @30% retained. At least he gets to go back to the LA area so it should be an easy move for his family.
Skinner doesn't look like a great fit here either. It's frustrating but this team honestly probably needs a forward more than a D.

I’m sure we can find suitors for both Henrique and Skinner. They both need to be gone if we have any chance at a cup. I’m positive Ryan will be replaced by Philip at seasons end. Perry, Janmark and Brown have all been good. Kapanen has been impressive. But we won’t win a cup with Henrique and Skinner making up 2/3s of our 3rd line. Florida’s 3rd line has Lundell and Luostarinen. We need bottom 6 drivers that can match that speed and intensity.

Sometimes miracles
Jeff Skinner? He's not really wrong, his output is way above a PTO, but he has warts and doesn't fit this team perfectly, but having him as higher end skill down the line up can create some match up problems.
Though I will say I would rather they move him
He's also a team worst (more than double the next closest guy) -10 on what is otherwise one of the best even strength teams in the league.

Weirder things have happened this season. Jacob Trouba not only didn't cost assets or retention to dump, he actually somehow returned a draft pick.
There's no shot you seriously think Jeff Skinner is playing at a 3 million dollar level, let alone underpaid. The guy is barely playing above a league minimum level.

That's true. Trouba trade makes it seem like anything can happen cause he's trash. That said, GM's circle jerk over hit old school hitting, so that probably played a part.

Trouba for sure got the big hitting RHD bonus pricetag, but I'm sure there's someone out there who will drool over Skinner's previous 30 goal seasons. And if I'm being completely honest, there's probably a fit out there for him somewhere (read: non-playoff team) that can make use of his shooting ability despite his warts. I hear Buffalo and Chicago are having issues scoring.
And yet is on pace for 15 goals not playing with McDavid or Draisiatl and no PP time
Yep. And still is on pace for 15 goals playing minimal mins

He also manages to be a possession black hole and complete defensive liability on arguably the best possession team and a top 5 defensive team in the league. He's right down there with Adam Henrique, Derek Ryan, and Troy Stecher competing for the title of worst player on the team. Janmark's numbers suck too but he also has to play a lot with Skinner/Henrique and at least is good on the penalty kill.

Rebooting myself
If you are referring to Mikko Koskinen--he has retired and his last two years in the swiss league was average. He now works as an agent

Fitting. Getting paid was the only thing he was good at.
I didn’t say he didn’t suck and wasn’t a black hole on this team. The original response was the idea he is PTO material and Oilers would have to give up assets to move him this year which I don’t think they would. GMs are stupid and will look at his pace of scoring. Side note- Henrique and Skinner signing in lieu of Holloway looks worse every day
His numbers were better than Stu’s on a much worse teaM
If only we would have drafted that sure fire stud goalie Wallstedt
