Skinner got bought out not because the Sabres needed cap space but because he is a one dimensional winger who's gaf meter is at zero way too often. He will put up cookie points if he doesn't have to care about defense, maybe that's the plan with the Oilers. But I fail to see how giving a player 3M when he has never played in the playoffs and seemingly his style is the opposite you need to win is somehow a bargain. Especially when the Oilers really don't need anymore regular season scorers but playoff types.
