Quinn has better edgework.
Purely anecdotal, but Jack seemed to be falling down a lot these playoffs.
He’s still an elite skater and they’re super close but I’ll take the defenceman here.

I think Jack is the better all around athlete.
Quinn is probably better at skating backwards and with edgework. But beyond that I'd say Jack has the edge in most athletic categories.
Quinn is quite a bit smarter. People don't see it, but it's his brains that really elevate him. Not just his skating.

If we’re talking about just skating, I guess they’re about even. Quinn has better edgework and agility and Jack has the ability to puck handle at top speed and is much quicker. I do think Jack is the better overall skater although you could make a case for Quinn.

Don’t blame me for it. I got orders from the suits to market these nicknames.
Weird thing to be pressed about

Definitely anecdotal, that game he kept falling down was completely rare for him.
I do think Quinn is a smoother skater but Jack can do so much with the puck while skating full speed.

It’s super close. I think Quinn is a little more controlled and Jack a little more explosive. I’ll take Jack very slightly.
Really wild how incredible all three brothers are at skating though. People should be beating down Ellen’s door begging her to teach their kids to skate.

I wouldn’t even call Quinn explosive. JH and skaters like Makar have him beat there. His skating strengths are more balance, control, edge work, and the likes.

Quinn is the better skater with better edges. Jack seems a little bit faster but at times loses control too easily.
