Skating is always fixable. We've seen it countless times. His skating stance coming out of junior was like Mitch Marner and the Leafs fixed his, but it took time.
It's ironic you mention Marner when I see Poitras skate that is exactly who I think about.
Skating be worked on, but can they change his stance significantly? I guess they can if the Leafs were successful with Marner. I find Marner still has that leaned over stance although I really can't compare it in my head to what it was like when he broke in. . Maybe make some adjustments in Poitras stick length and lie would help, help him get a bit more upright, a small adjustment.
