Its pretty clear that for some reason or another, Skal is not Joerger's favorite. He has been getting sporadic minutes. Having said all that, he is probably our best young prospect other than those that are semi established (i.e. WCS, Buddy, Bogdan, Fox) so he has some value. I am not counting Giles as we really don't know if he is any good and I am always reluctant to believe the Kings word for it given the history.
If Skal is being sacrifised for a 2nd round pick, then it's lunacy. However, if we are talking in some way as Skal and our 2nd (not sure that we even have it) for Brooklyn pick or a mid 1st round pick from somewhere else, then sure, I can see the logic in that.
Let's wait and see how the cards fall on this one before we start canning Vlade and the rest of the front office.
