I don't doubt it. It just sounds like a project we have no success at correcting.

I know top of Bernhardt's list was hockey IQ. Hopefully the new guy's is skating.

From the hockey writers

“Schnarr is a big-bodied center that plays a two-way game. His skating is a concern as his stride is too wide and choppy. His skating affects his backchecking ability as well. He puts in effort to get back to the defensive zone but his turns are incredibly slow and unbalanced, causing him to lose speed and fall back in the race to the defensive zone.” – Future Considerations

Great. Let's trade him to Chicago.

It's worth noting that this write up is from two years ago, before he was drafted. Chayka has talked a lot over the years about kids and skating mechanics. He won't draft a kid with skating problems that aren't easily fixed.

Yes it is from his draft analysis. And he has exploded offensively since. Watching a few games his stride is still pretty choppy but maybe he gets around well enough.

Sure hope Schnarr isn't a tease like Ryan McInnis and is the real deal. Ryan had a very similar trajectory. Blew up duringdhis D2 year but was never able translate in the AHL. Anyone have reason to beluebe Schnarr has a more translatable game? He can play in the Tucson next season correct?

Schnarr has had a good series vs Ottawa after falling asleep last round.

McInnis is a player I thought would round into a player like Hanzal. A person never knows how these kids mature.
