I guess the real question is, will the Sabres have a better option?

Buying Skinner out doesn't cost them the 11th pick, though. If they buy him out, and they still want to dangle the pick, they could get a better return than Mangiapane.
Andersson, for example.
I'm not saying they wouldn't trade Skinner with the 11th, I just think they would need more than Mangiapane to entice them to do so. Probably a lot more. Early picks are valuable, especially in draft week.
