Why's Jeff Skinner labeled as small & concussion prone?

[Isles72]

I was surprised to see that he hadnt really missed that many games in the past 3 seasons so I started paying a bit more attention to him in a fantasy hockey kinda angle .

I was able to aquire him as a ''throw in'' when I made a big trade at last years deadline and will hope for the best in 16-17

1) this is the internet

2) this is sports

Reputations are the hardest thing to get rid of.

-As recently as last year people thought Dan Girardi was good
-People still think the Rangers can't score
-People still think Philly has garbage goaltending
-People still think Brent Seabrook is good at ice hockey
-Jack Johnson still somehow -some ****ing how- made team USA
-Fun fact: the Bruins have been one of the physically smaller teams in the league for quite some time

This is a thing? You guys were 7th last year and 3rd the year before

but, from reading the trade board for as long as i have, i am legitimately curious why skinner, who has missed less time due to concussions than crosby has,

Except that Crosby didn't miss time with a concussion, he missed time with a broken neck that was misdiagnosed as a concussion.

You don't read down to post #4 on a two-week old, four page thread before clicking "reply"?

I could have won a lot of money if I had bet Ed Sheeran would make an appearance before that.
