If we take a look back, at the end of the 2016-17 season, Brady Skjei had played 80 games and recorded five goals and 35 assists for 39 points. Those numbers landed him just three points back of the team’s second-leading scorer, Michael Grabner, last season.
In addition, he was the fourth Rangers defenseman in history to record more than 30 assists in a rookie season (joining Brian Leetch, Reijo Ruotsalainen, and Ron Greschner). He also ranked fourth among NHL defensemen and tied for first among all NHL rookies with 25 even-strength assists.
A great resume for his full complete season.
