Another real interesting guy in terms of where he lands in Philly.

“Every time that Vanier was on the ice I found it hard not to notice him. For a six-foot-five, 215-pound defenceman, he skates awfully well once he is moving and I’m sure that caught more than a few scouts’ eye. While he needs to improve the quickness in his first step, I felt his skating is still pretty good. Aside from his athletic talents, Vanier also has a great shot, good passing skills and thinks the game very well. Overall, this is one player to watch the rest of the way as he will surely charge up the draft rankings based on these tools alone.”

What exactly are the flaws in Vanier's skating? This is the most positive review of his skating that I have seen.
