Brady Skjei has simply continued to get better and better as a Hurricane since coming over from the New York Rangers at the 2020 trade deadline. His offensive instincts, skating, shot, puck-moving ability and chemistry with Brett Pesce on the Hurricanes’ second defensive pair have made him a valuable piece of the top four for the past few years.
This past year, Skjei took his offensive game to new heights, giving the Hurricanes an added weapon from the back end as he set a career high with 18 goals. Skjei seems to have a knack for getting accurate shots on net from the point, and, this year, more and more of them found the twine.
