I think I have said this about every 5 games since the season started...but Skjei has not been what we picked out from the FA catalog. He's the wish version of a steady D-man. If this style isn't going to fit his play, then we are in for a long contract.
I think he has spent most of his season with Josi who has spent most of his time acting like a defensively illiterate forward. That's a tough task.

That defense is... surely something.
The real pairings

Josi - Carrier
Skjei - Josi
Skjei - Carrier
Josi -Schenn
Skjei - Schenn
Wilsby - Blankenburg - 10 mins each

So based on Mason's comments I guess the plan now is to basically move off guys that can be traded and hope whoever new gets in the lineup can get the rest of the team going.

Also he basically admitted they are throwing crap at the wall and hoping something sticks. Hate to tell him it's not going to get better as long as guys like Stamkos are pulling that much 5v5 time.
What comments?

Man I sure wish with all of these blueline injuries we had someone who was proven to be able to play with Josi... Wait didn't we have a guy?

I'll say, the only reason I still have hope for Skjei is just based on the fact that every single one of our Dman has looked worse this year. We have nobody playing at even their normal level, it's all regression even for the players who didn't have room to regress.

Skjei is clearly lost in trying to learn our system having played in one of the strongest systems in the league for multiple years. But the reason I'm concerned is that mechanically, he looks bad. Bad passer, slow skater, inconsistent decision-maker. Those things are not all system-dependent.

I was messing around with AI art in our GDT and The Machine accidentally created your new mascot:

So if one of you could email Trotz and make this happen it would be good for the sport
