              The evidence is quite clear.
 We will sign a 3rd liner, 4th liner, and another depth player.  This organization is a joke.  If the Byram trade wasnt embarrassing enough, he just keeps the hits rolling, a 2nd for a player who might not actually make the team.
 
 Byram trade embarrassing? Interesting….

              You don't just take 25 goals out of your lineup, though, without a plan to replace that.- Powerslave
 
I really think ruff told Adams to boot skinner or he may not take the job.
 
I liked skinner and 93 goals over the past 3 years gonna be difficult to replicate. 
 
Savoie or kulich at 15 goals could be the replacement plan imo                |  |

We traded a position of need (a top 6 forward) for redundancy, another LHD puck moving dman.  Yes that is embarrassing.  A GM that doesn't even understand it's own organizational needs.

              Adams announces to the world that pick 11 is in play so 6 thru 10 team up to devalue it.  Adams won't pay the idiot tax so he trades back to 14 to gain a 2nd rounder as "ammunition"
 Multiple top/middle six and top 4 dman traded for 2nd round picks or some combo in the proceeding day but he trades his "ammunition" 2nd rounder for a replacement level 4th line penalty killer at best
 
 Holy (frank) it is just been a fireable year for adams at every turn

That is kind of an odd request.   Skinner scores 20-30 goals in his sleep.  What’s wrong with that. 
 
Ruff had Jack Hughes.   And a few other kids that play a similar game.

So you’re saying the new coach had nothing to do with the skinner buy out? 
 
I disagree, and skinner is not a top 10ish center like jack hughes 
 
Skinner is a loser by nhl standards as well                |  |

Its always possible ruff had an opinion on skinner but its probably more likely skinner wants out and is leveraging adams like everyone else and/or 
 
He isn't part of their future anyways and its two birds stoned at once to open a spot for the logjam of prospects and to save money for future payments of Quinn and peterka

Good post. 
 
If ruff wanted skinner, I’m guessing he’s still on the team though. At least for 1 more season.
 
Skinner probably is sick of losing, but he was part of the problem

Skinner wasn't part of the problem 2 years ago.  Hard to call the leading goal getter part of the problem without an ability to replace that production

How did he leverage Adams?  Skinner refused to waive his no trade clause.
 
That sound like a guy who wants out?  Skinner loved it here.
