Well, it’s a good thing the Rangers didn’t overreact. Skjei has arguably been one of their best players.
He has 9 points in 22 games, all 5v5. If he got a chance on the PP we would probably be looking at a 50 point D with great physical presence.
Unfortunately for him, the Rangers got Trouba, brought in Fox and DeAngelo finally showing his potential. So as good as he’s been, it’s unlikely he pushes past this 3 long term. Although, outside of DeAngeloid argue Skjei should be getting that PP time a head of Fox and Trouba.
Skjei looks like a key piece though. He’s in Ny to stay.
