Honest question but how many times has it been where you (or anyone) said to themselves..."geez MT's skating really screwed that up", because i genuinely dont remember anything specific.
I agree he is average at best, (speed wise anyhow), but he is so strong on his skates and is so smart (hockey IQ) that it is a non-issue when i watch him.
Therefor I dont think his skating abilities have any part of the discussion as to a new contract.
