defensive liability, but if low cost and he interviews with Rod and buys in, I am okay with it.

i’ll always love him, but no. i imagine Rod is very against it.
Quixlequaxle
No, I don’t think he fits our system.
DrMantisToboggan22
I think shipping Skinner out was one of Rod’s first moves lol. Not a chance we see 53 in a canes sweater again.

If it was a cheap deal, I might be down with it, maybe (assuming Guentzel is gone). The “system” people will not be. I’m not anti-system, but it’s about time they tinker with it, no?
iSupportCarry
I’ll take him if they add in that McDavid guy he seems to have potential
Higgnkfe
Yes but Rod fucking hates him so it won’t happen
SpentGladiator77
IF he and Rod talk and work out whatever was between them, and IF he makes an effort to play more defensively, and IF he takes a big pay cut, then sure. But that’s a lot of big ifs that I’m not convinced make sense for him, so I’m not particularly expecting it.

No. He is who he is. There’s no such thing as “if he works on his defense” at this point in his career. You know what you’re getting and we don’t want it.
bearwhidrive
He doesn’t get back on defense enough to play with this team. But the question is always whether he can and doesn’t or whether he can’t. There’s no such thing as too much scoring, so if we want to kick the tires on this, I’m not against it.

No

Ehh, no. I think it’s an issue of scheme fit.

I don’t think you guys understand the level of devastation that will bestow my home if Skinner gets bought out by Buffalo
HockeyGuy601
Nope because there’s already two upcoming offensive dmen in addition to already having Burns and Orlov. Not a need this offseason

No thanks

Absolutely not. Do you want us to be cursed with a playoff drought again?
He was initially shipped out for two reasons:
1. He’s a diva, he’s a known locker room problem and he would hurt the culture we’ve worked so hard to build
2. He doesn’t fit into Rod’s game. He is what he is at this point in his career and his defensive game will not be up to par with what Rod expects out of his guys.
Honorable mention: He cares more about money than winning and our cap situation isn’t gonna work with that even if we wanted it to.
My only regret on us trading him to Buffalo is that we didn’t get someone like Sam Reinhart in return

hard pass unless he’s dirt cheap

We’re going to trade away Necas (potentially) as he’s not a great fit for the system and then turn around and bring in a guy who is even less defensively responsible?

He would be an invaluable addition with all of his playoff experience.
justheretolurk123456
I don’t believe that people are cursed, but that guy has never seen the playoffs for a reason. We don’t want him back, but I wish him well wherever he is.

Never. Cherry picking prick who has some non-sensical ego complex.
fogent94
No, I don’t want him back as much as I loved him while he was here
SokkasBoomerang3
Hell no
JediSnorlax
While he would be good he lacks size which is where we suffer. We have a lot of good forwards but not enough beefy boy goal scorers. Svech and Necas are good size but neither have become the star we needed them to be.
