Buffalo Sabres right a perceived wrong

For this trade to occur, Skinner would need to remove his no-movement clause. While moving Skinner would shock the NHL universe, there are sound logistics behind it. The Stars get a winger who enjoyed a season of redemption in 2021-22, and one that will join a hockey team figuring to contend for the playoffs.

However, there is always the chance that Skinner lapses into the ineffective player we saw in 2019-20 and 2020-21, which warrants the Stars to ask for another forward they can groom in their system, which is where Biro comes in. Side Note: Trading Biro would devastate me, but the NHL is a business, and Biro is evolving into a remarkable prospect.

The Stars also get a 2023 first round pick in the event neither Skinner nor Biro play to expectations, allowing them to snag a potential replacement with a first round pick. Ideally, this would be a protected pick.
