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.

Easily, if the move is to replace Skinner, why Mangiapane. Add Skinner buy out to Mangiapane's contract.
2024/25 - $5.8 mil + $1.4 mil = $7.2 mil
Clearly if you trade for Mangiapane, you would want to sign him
5 years @ $6mi per year (estimate)
25/26 - $6 mil + $4.4 mil = $10.4 mil
26/27 - $6 mil + $6.4 mil = $12.4 mil
Last 3 year - $6 mil + $2.4 mil = $8.4 mil
Mangiapane is no better than Skinner, this saves them no cap and they are out the 11OV pick? Terrible
