he went into the combine at 193 pounds, a week after the playoffs, which would mean he was at his lightest point
going into the nhl he was probably 200 - 205 pds guaranteed, best edge work i have seen in my life, id say hes a pretty tough kid to knock off the puck
If the Calder were handed out today he would definitly be my pick!!! He was fun to watch every week here in Kitchener!! I'm glad he is having such great success
@jwatanabe90 really? once he gets stronger on his feet lol ive played against skinner and he was one of if not the strongest skater ive played against
That's awesome that you got to play against him! I don't know, the reason I say that is because I've seen teams push him off the puck sometimes with ease. And I'm a huge Canes fan, I've watched every game he's played with the Hurricanes this year. Don't get me wrong I'm sure he's really strong, and he can do wonders out there, it's just in the NHL most of the guys are bigger than him I guess.
im in vancouver and Im a skinner fan, kid is awesome. congrats on the calder nomination.

Once this kid bulks up and gets stronger on his feet, he's gonna be a force to reckon with. He's already in the lead for the Calder Trophy.
