It's a more reasonable price and timeframe for Buffalo than if they bought him out, but a deal like this probably makes more sense after the draft once a couple teams miss on the top free agent wingers.
Looking at Buffalo's roster, I'd like the 11th this year, but I'd be fine with an unprotected first rounder next year too. That team still has a lot of question marks.

I think part of this is Skinner and the idea he could make more money with a buy out and new contract somewhere else.
