Well, we want to wait and see what happens here, Don, and you are correct. Jeff Skinner, the rumour is right now is he will be bought out by the Buffalo Sabres. He's making close to $10 million a year, but the Sabres want to free up some cap space, and they want to go after some big names on the free agent market." Dhaliwal said.
He added, "Now, where it gets interesting with Skinner is Jim Rutherford drafted him in Carolina in 2010. He's 32 years old with 92 goals in the last three years. He had two bad years and followed it up with 30/30/30. He scored 40 goals six years ago. Another option for Elias Pettersson. The Canucks, let's be honest, whether it's a trade, whether it's July 1st, they are looking high and low for a top-six winger, Donny, for Pettersson.
So, could it be Jeff Skinner? Rutherford has a good read on this player. He drafted him and is trying to put two and two together."
