If the deal was the Sabres 2024 and 2025 1st rounders and Jiri Kulich to take on Skinner and buy him out, then maybe you could talk Edwards into that move. MAYBE. That's a lot of scratch to shell out for no immediate value.

With the flames pretty much rebuilding they wouldn’t need to buy him out. They could just let him play at a high price on the roster. Not sure sabres are dangling their 11th overall to take him on though
