I knew he had 10 before. He texted me asking if he could take it because I think he has worn it his entire career... When he asked there was no doubt that he could have it and I had to switch numbers.
That situation could open the door for another savvy move by the Islanders. While Skinner is hardly the goal scorer he once was, he could be a low-risk proposition. Skinner would get a chance to go to a playoff team, with eyes on a middle-six role. Meanwhile, the Islander could get a motivated player with a chip on his shoulder. Skinner would be eager to show that he still has what it takes to be successful at the NHL level.
