Having said all that if there was no risk in trading for Skinner the value would be so high it wouldn't even be worth discussing.
I feel like I'm repeating myself, but here goes.

He plays small. If you didn't know his size you'd assume he was 5'6 from watching him. He has had at least 4 concussions in the last 4 years alone. How many did he have in juniors, or when he was a kid? I definitely don't blame him, but the guy is afraid of contact now. Do not want any part of a player like that, especially in the pacific division.
