TrueBlueGED Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 Skinner is diving, whiny diva putz. I hate him with the fury of a thousand suns. Nobody who ever complained about Derek Roy is allowed to want Skinner. Neither is anyone who thinks the team is too soft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randall Flagg Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 I would totally get a Skinner jersey if he got traded here and signed an extension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brawndo Posted June 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 Per LeBrun  Meeting between Elias Lindholm camp and Hurricanes' brass did not go well today, I'm told. Still far apart on a contract. A trade now is very much possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand how you can like Skinner and hate Pacioretty. Is it just an age/contract thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next time I see Pacioretty play passionate hockey will be the first. I also have a thing for elegant skaters. Skinner's edges might have been the best in the league before McDavid (and Dahlin :) ) came in.  By no means do I think Skinner is close to a perfect player though. He actually shares some of Evander's maddening tendencies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rasmus_ Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 Skinner is a bum, on the other hand Lindholm is a player I'd love to return in a deal for Ryan O'Reilly. If they were willing to send him here with a 2nd and another piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brawndo Posted June 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 Per Mike Kelly  Further to this, contract negotiations between Hurricanes and Elias Lindholm appear to have hit a wall. Trade possible / likely today. Blackhawks are in the mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brawndo Posted June 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 Friedman asked Bergevin: "You had a lengthy conversation with Jason Botterill, is there anything going on with Buffalo?" Â MB answered: "We were talking about the combine and what a nice set up it was, talking about how we should come back next year *smiles*" Â Bergevin then immediately said 95% chance he's using the pick but started laughing and smiling while trying to answer if anything was up with them and Buffalo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
