I’d love to think there’s a GM out there that still likes Rasmussen and get something useful for him.

He was healthy this season. He just doesn’t do anything which isn’t surprising consider his knock on draft day was he can’t score at 5v5 in juniors.

Definitely perplexed why guys like Rasmussen and Crouse get high praise pre-draft.

Detroit did a themed draft that year focused on size. It was stupid. I wanted Vilardi and he looks solid now that he’s finally healthy.

To any team: 1st overall pick, Okposo, Skinner
To Buffalo : any late round pick

You guys think any team take this risk?

To sign new bad contracts. It’s the circle of life.

Really not worth worrying about Okposo at this late stage. I think the better play for Skinner would be to eat $4.5 in retention and get a short-term bad deal back

I just don't see a point of buying out or paying to move Skinner if Jack/Samson are gone. If we're rebuilding, burn some years off that term so that when we start to compete again he's less expensive to move. Isn't like we'd need cap space...
