I was wondering, right now his is the worst contract in the league, but would it be the worst contract in the league at half price ($4.5M/six years) and the NMC waived?
It would be sneaky, but if Lucic waived to go to Buffalo, and Skinner waived to come to Calgary, and both waived for the expansion, Skinner would look good on Backlunds wing, instead of fourth line in Buffalo. Buffalo is then on the hook for two years of Lucic instead of six of Skinner, and Skinner might play up to his salary here.
That's a lot of waiving.

Yah, there is no way I'd want the Flames to be saddled with that contract. Trade for Skinner, and you pretty much eff your cap for 7 years, especially when we are looking at a flat cap for the foreseeable future.
