Nothing wrong with having a 24 year old #3 defenseman.

His contract will continue to look better as time rolls on and when he slots down into the second pair he'll look better.
Him and ADA look good together and could be a stellar 2nd pair down the line

A young 2nd pair D signed long term for 2nd pair money is not someone you trade because he might not improve

He'll be ok as long as he avoids those five-minute majors.
I don’t want to trade him. I just don’t get all the love for him on these boards. He’s an average defender on a good team.

I just think he tries to do too much. He thinks that he needs to be Bobby Orr out there. He needs to simplify up his game. I think Quinn needs to strip his game down and rebuild it

Skjei represents the risk of inserting a player above their ideal role.
He was drafted as a guy who was expected to be a third pairing guy, he progressed to the point where he was a second pairing guy, and circumstances have him playing as a first pairing guy.
But it was that last push that was one too many.

I maintain that he's a fine second pairing defenseman.

He's making poor decisions. He doesn't seem to be incredibly interested in defense.. Offensively he has 1 move, skate straight fast until the other teams defense stops him and he takes a weak shot from the board...
He needs to settle down and let the other Dmen handle offense. Focus on defense, when in doubt get close to the net. He's been caught a couple times being overly aggressive or taking weird routes(ex: the goal against last night were he went around the other side of the net leaving an easy passing lane to the slot)

He's a second pair guy being forced to play on the top pair.
At the time I wanted him signed long term, but hindsight, they should have bridged him. He hasn't been worth the price they paid him. And they kinda overpaid a bit

I couldn't have said it better than this. This is what I see as well. Eight out of 10 times, his rushes and freelancing in the offensive zone rarely produce anything good and lead to chances the other way.

Skjei needs to focus on being the "Stralman" of the pair he's on. He can skate great but doesn't know too much of what to do in the offensive zone. He's trying to fill McDonagh's shoes but instead needs to settle down and focus on the play in his own end. He's really good when he does this and doesn't force the play in the o zone.
I think that he can still be a good 2nd pairing defenseman. I wonder if he will be tangled to a Cup contender? Don't think so as they just signed him, but food for thought.
