Note: Reports prior to Sept 2023 were originally graded out of ten, and also included additional categories that have been merged into the current categories.
This likely results in the overall ratings prior to 2023 being decreased in comparison to reports since Sept 2023.For an `Apples to Apples` comparison between players, we recommend only comparing reports before, or after, Sept 2023.
Results will average out accordingly as more data is accumulated.

Massive defender. Takes up tons of space with his stature and length.
Generally keeps things simple with the puck. Low risk. If things break down he chips pucks to open ice instead of trying to skate himself out of trouble.
In the way. Blocks shots on the PK.
2-way / Leaning 'Defensive D' at the NHL level.
Less = more ... compliments a more active / transitional 'D' partner

Average with the puck on his stick. Simple is best.
Not likely to produce much offense.
Leans shut down / match-up 'D' who will take shifts at ES and PK.
Willing to do the heavy lifting. Very competitive.

There's a ton to like about Skahan's game.
He's big. He skates well. He takes away time and space in the defensive zone. He's willing to body up and make life difficult on opponents.
Puck play ranges. Executing / making plays has - at times - been inconsistent.
Leans 2-way 'D' - potentially shut down 'D' as he establishes himself.
Primary ice time comes at even strength and penalty kill at the USNTDP.
Not likely to produce much offense.
