A bit of an awkward looking stride at times but the mechanics are solid and he's not slow by any means, and is also fairly agile. I would never call his skating elite but it's not like he's a below average skater. He is similar to Zary at the age in terms of skating.

Kindel would be a fantastic pick at 18 in my opinion and I see lots of upside. If we get him at 32, even better. My non professional opinion is teams will be proven wrong for not picking him earlier.
