Seriously, this. There are Canes I'd want no part of (Ward, J. Staal) but I would take Skinner any time. Guy is only 23 years old and "for the last three years plus this year" has scored, on average, at a 27 goal pace (also scored at a 27 goal pace for his full career). At 6 million a year that's exactly what you want. You've effectively filled the void that otherwise will be filled by an aging and declining Hudler.
It's like people think "concussion" and automatically associate the guy with suffering from post-concussion syndrome or something.
