Denver defenseman Brett Skinner has decided to forgo his senior season and sign with the Vancouver Canucks.
Skinner was one of the top defenseman in the country last year, and played a big role in Denver's national championship run. He will leave a big hole on the Pioneer defense. If teammate Matt Carle decides to jump to the NHL as well, Denver could be left sophomore Andrew Thomas, T.J. Fast, Julian Marcuzzi, Chris Butler, and J.P. Testwuide as their top five defenseman. That is a very talented group of defenseman, but extremely young and they could have difficulty adjusting to the stresses of playing defense in the WCHA.
