Since last post, I reinquired about Skinner.
He reasked for Yandle.
I already traded a D (Diaz) for a forward (Parenteau) this weekend.
I still think I can afford to lose Yandle and roll with five: Doughty, Markov, Wiz, Goli and Franson, but Wiz and Markov are great members of the BAB club...
We have only two FA pickups. Already used both for Diaz and Franson.
I like to load on D and then target gm with weakness at the backend.
I don't really need a boost at offense, but a great player like Skinner (when healthy) give me some nice options for weekly lineups and/or trades possibilities.
Do you think my keepers are better with Yandle or with Skinner on my team?
Is Skinner a PPG player? If yes (or close to), I think it's worth a D like Yandle. Do you?
With the news that Skinner started to practice (still no contact), how much time do you think before he plays in a game?
Thanks guys.

i would not deal my skinner for yandle. if you can get someone to make that deal, take it. skinner is only in his 3rd season and he's been making steady progress every season. yes, the injuries are there, but he's already back skating which suggests this one wasn't very bad.

i think skinner is a ppg player within the next season or two. i would rather keep skinner moving forward than yandle. with only 6 keepers, i think there should be lots of d-men available year to year and you ice 9 fwds to only 4 dmen.

you could ask for a pick back with skinner's iniury history if you want. me, i make that deal.

I traded Yandle for Skinner+ after JS's rookie season, haven't regretted it even with the damn injuries. Just watch Skinner play, the kid has some serious talent. Hopefully he can stay off the IR in the future - but its a worthy gamble IMO.
