Are you serious ?
- Reveen.


About Skinner, Yamamoto, Hoffman or all of it?

Personally I’d prefer Hoffman over Skinner, not because I think Hoffman is the better player, but rather because of Skinner’s concussion history.

Yeah-
We’d obviously have to move around some bucks, and it’s not like moving yammy is ideal cap wise, but him ever being a 30 goal 60+ point player like Hoffman or skinner is about as good as we could hope for. Not sayin he won’t be, but that kind of production is pretty much a home run pick from yammy.

And Hoffman and especially skinner are not old by any means. Both could help us for the next 3+ Years in their primes

Fair point

Hoffman’s also more of a pure shooter which might be more conducive to our needs

But I just effin love skinners skating. Dominant. He can drive possession and score. Not exactly the same player, but itd be pretty akin to replacing hall imo

Skinner is the better shooter for sure compared to Hall, but I think Hoffman has the best shot of the three. Then again I might just think that because Hoffman has made the Oilers his female dog for as long as I can remember. 8 (frank)ing goals and 11 points in 8 games against us.

I do agree that Skinner is the better skater of the three. Pretty complete winger when you think about it.

No, you’re probably right. Hoffman is a pure snipe. Lethal shot can pick his spot from anywhere. Prob the best of the 3.
And that shot on the pp getting fed by Connor might be exactly what this team
Needs. Especially considering our special teams are so mediocre

But 5v5, skinner is undoubtedly the superior of the two I think.
Again, that skating

Either way, Both would be so welcome. And both have their pros that help the team.
I’ve stated my preference, But also considering that injury history u mentioned, U may be right ..

Fair point.
It’s a gamble no doubt. And it’d be yammy + even.
I’m Assuming we have some positive idea of his willingness to resign when We make the deal of course

That kind of extra scoring puts this team into elite company I think so I’d do it.

For skinner I’d offer a huge package around yammy and not even think that hard to be totally honest

It's his salary, if we had to move Eberle to make cap room how do we take on Hoffman without sending salary out and are we at the point to spend significant assets for a potential rental.

Not sure if it's what you were going for, but I picture Ric Flair saying the "Salad tossin’, butt hair flossin’." part.
