Looking at my deal again I doubt the canes consider it

Ok, so the point was to get Skinner. And apparently to change in Hiller to get a goalie who is 3 years younger and who has lost significant time to injury over the last 4-5 seasons.
So I still don't see the point. As others have pointed out, Skinner is one hit away from retirement, and we pick up two large contracts, give up youth/picks, and one of our only top 9 forwards with size. Skinner is also small. Makes zero sense to me.
