Skinner has a history of production though and he's not an old lumbering grinder. He is an elite skater. Something is wrong in Buffalo that has made his game crater.
If you can get the Sabres to retain some cap hit on Skinner, I'd do it. I think there is a bounce back with Skinner and if he does, then you can deal him away again. Besides in any deal for Eichel, you are probably losing at least 2 top six forwards so you will need another forward back.
