Skinner did have a NMC....which really handcuffed Carolina on top of the fact that he only has a year left on his current contract before he becomes a free agent.
I feel the same way about this deal as I did the Elias Lindholm deal. I don’t mind the amount (although I think they are a little high) it is the term of the contract that I’m not a big fan of.
I would only want Patches if he agreed to an extension.
Skinner is being shopped because the belief is he told the team he wouldn’t sign an extension.
