Its time to get excited about Skyler Mackenzie

[1stDan]

Over 1 point per game in the dub

I know Petan was super impressive In that league as well. But something about the way this kid plays and the way he scores has me pretty excited.

He's a good prospect but let's not get ahead of ourselves. I want to see how it goes in the A first

 

[Jetabre]

Well..If you say so...

OMG SKYLER MCKENZIE HYPE!!

 

[surixon]

He has been one of my dark horse prospects. I like his abilityvtonfund the soft spots a round the net and his quick release allows him to capitalize. I am very interested in seeing how he adapts to the pro game next season.

 

[jetdiehard]

He was impressive at our camp at the Ice Plex.

Lol I know.

I'm reserved on most of these kids. But he gets me pretty pumped for some reason.

 

[JetsUK]

Well, nothin generates hype here on HF Jets like a highly-skilled, undersized propsect with a Portland connection.

Skylar's the limit for this kid.

Looks more like a highlight reel for Glass But McKenzie certainly looks like an energy player with a good shot.

Of all the times available to get excited, why is now the time?

 

[DeepFrickinValue]

moose should be an interesting team to watch this year. lots of prospects working their way through the system now.

Spent the first half of the video impressed with how that #8 is all over the ice and in every hilight...then I realized it's Cody Glass...Jets should go get him...he's good.

He is actually smaller than Petan, in the Moose goal they're standing beside each other...yikes.

I like the kid though, he definitely gets open and isn't afraid to attack the net. I loved the drop kick to the goalie's head on that one goal, that was pretty sweet.

Hopefully he has a rookie season with the Moose like Roslovic and Appleton have had in the past couple years.

You’d hope 1 out of the 3 small guys from the winter hawks can be a productive jet.

you mean 2 out of 3?

 

[MardyBum]

He was in his D+2. Was a nice year, no reason to get overly excited. I like his game though.

 

[ffh]

Who? get excited for Appleton, yes. Skylar, no.

 

[CorgisPer60]

I have Skylar in my 'Chase De Leo' box right now. We'll see what he develops into.

 

[The Big M]

He was in his D+2. Was a nice year, no reason to get overly excited. I like his game though.

Well...I got to ask. Since he was drafted in 2017 as an 18 year old, isn't last year considered as D+1?

Was drafted as a 19 year old. Born in '98. Vesalainen for example was born in 99.

He's 4 months older than Stanley.

I think Skyler has much more finishing talent than Chase, but is otherwise very similar. I wonder if that could be the difference.

 

[kylbaz]

That video got me excited for Cody Glass.

 

[Analyst365]

Is his mom the OP?

 

[nobody imp0rtant]

Why do so many people think his name is spelled Skylar? Are they confusing him with Mylar?

 

[sting13]

I have seen everyone one of Skyler's games the last two years and I can tell you he will not be a NHL player. As mentioned he benefited from playing with Cody Glass. So many of his goals were a result of finishing a pass from Glass into a virtual empty net. He would never get that time to finish like that in the NHL. He just doesn't have the skill set of a NHL player.

 

[SLAYER]

Call me crazy, but I'm not excited.
