At least he's figured out Boynton sucks.



Heard any trade rumors?



I know you sometimes get wind of that a little earlier than most.

Ditto. I'm not big on Skille either. Million moves to nowhere. I'm ready to deal him for what we can get - maybe some D help at the trade deadline.



What D-man is going to produce at Skilles cap hit?



If he can score 12+ goals from the 4th line that would make him more productive than any 4th liner we've had... probably ever. Hes on pace for what, 25-30 points? What more can you ask from a guy who is averaging 11 muinutes per game?

Could be no one, but I'm willing to shop him and see what's available.

My issue with Skille isn't that he takes too many shots, I just think he selection of shots is piss poor.

A least he's taking shots.



I personally would rather a guy fire a shit-ton of pucks, even piss-poor shots, on the net in hopes that either one goes in or someone bangs home a rebound than the dangling, skating, one-too-many-moves or one-too-many-passes looking for the perfect play only to turn it over--like has been the majority of our offense this year.

I don't have an issue with him. Not sure why Q does.



Scott should never be in the lineup. His value as an enforcer is a myth.



I'd rather have Skille in there as there's at least a chance of contribution.



Scott is a waste of space, regardless of his low cap hit.

all I'm going to say is there was a trade and it fell through. From what I've heard.

I disagree on Skille. He has progressed very nicely this season...for all intents and purposes he's a rookie for crying out loud.

If that's all you're gonna tell us you might as well stay quiet, Mr. Ambiguity!

Not really - this is his 4th season with the team.



I amended my post to say "for all intents and purposes"....he's never had any consistent playing time until this year.

Incorrect. This is his FIRST SEASON with the team as a starter. Just as it is with Dowell, Bickell and Crawford.



While Skille has played a handful of games, like the others, it is their FIRST season with the team.



Four years with the "organization" is NOT four years with the "team".
