he can absolute fly. great skater. but he's not an NHL player. Pastrnak is a burner, so is Debrusk. Krug absolutely flies, gotta give him some credit there. I think most people think of best skater as fastest, which I disagree with. If I'm voting for best skater on the bruins I'm saying Carlo. A guy that size with his balance and speed is a rarity.

If it includes all skating abilities you gotta have Tyler Bozak in there. His uncalled slew foot/60 was the reason St Louis hoisted the cup last spring

Formenton is obviously our fastest skater, but he's not our "best" skater. White has similar top speed, but is much stronger on this edges. Chabot is very fast and has elite lateral mobility and finesse. Brannstrom, in my opinion is the best combination of high end speed, mobility and edge work In tight. He absolutely glides, and makes it look effortless.

Lowkey I'd put Skinner ahead of either. That dude absolutely dances out on the ice. Wicked fast too.

I would agree, it’s just that formemton is so fast that I went with him

I haven't seen a lot of Dahlin in Buffalo but from his highlights his edge control is excellent. Thanks for the response.

Fair enough. Sens have a few options in that conversation. Formenton when he fills out is going to be a problem across the league.

That's right he was a figure skater before getting in to hockey.

Very few players can do what he can do on his edges. That **** is way more fun to watch than someone just skating fast.

I agree with Karlsson for San Jose because he's probably (at least pre-injury) the best skating defenseman in the league. But I do want to point out the Brent Burns, for his size, is also a fantastic skater and is probably the fastest skater on the Sharks.

I think you just listed off every team's best player, not skater.

Stone is one of the best wingers in the league but he skates like he has 2 left feet

Dahlin is amazing on his edges. But Eichel is too. And Eichel is top 10 in they league in terms of acceleration and top speed.
