Jeff Skinner had a great 2019 season. No matter how you look at it, Hurricanes fans should be happy for the resurgence of their former All-Star and Calder trophy winner. Sebastian Aho had an even better year, and many would look at these two free-agents as comparable in their impact, and eventual payday.
There are notable differences to consider between these two players. Skinner is a 9-year veteran on his second contract while scoring at least 30-goals four times, and over 50 points five times, all before his 28th birthday.
Sebastian Aho is entering his first post-entry level contract and has almost 200 points in only three professional seasons.
