I think Skinner is a better skater, but size and skillset wise it is a close comparable. I see Baertschi as a guy who could make the jump next season, but not necessarily start out with a 30 goal rookie campaign. I do think though, if he plays in the NHL next season, put him with a bigger guy who will jump in on the forecheck and create space for Baertschi, and he could pot quite a few goals
