I must be slow - what exactly is CGY offering BUF for their 24 year old, 6'6" right shooting C/RW making $1.4 mil?

BUF is not anywhere near the cap. Thompson falls right into the age/price range of their main group. They already have 3 1st round picks.

If I were BUF, I would tell everyone - sure, Thompson is available. But you have to take Skinner at full price too.

(to that end, not sure what CGY is offering to get other teams "young guns". Any team near the cap wants to keep those guys who are on ELCs.)
