Skinner isn't a cap dump in that he's useless like Clarkson was, he's a cap dump because he was signed to a contract that paid him for potential and he instead regressed due to injury and plays a different game now. Skinner is still a good player and I could see him going to a rebuilding team like the leafs or oil but the hurricanes need to trade him because they can't afford to pay too many contracts that are over priced. It's a situational thing; Skinner on another team would just be considered an over priced contract but the hurricanes have too many of them and need to shed some.
To me, Skinner wouldn't fit on our top 6 as we have too many small guys who don't play physical and he doesn't play the kind of game you want your bottom 6 to play.
