Can Jeff Skinner and Ryan Reaves still impact the game?
The San Jose Sharks acquired both (former?) headliners last week, inking Skinner, 33, to a one-year, $3 million contract, and trading Henry Thrun for 38-year-old enforcer Reaves.
Skinner is a six-time 30-goal scorer, topping out at 40 in 2018-19. Reaves was once the most-feared protector in the league.
What do scouts, none with the San Jose Sharks, think of today’s versions of Skinner and Reaves? They offer their candid opinions.
