Skjei has a good shot at making the team if, for nothing else, he's 18. You see a lot of times with these WJC teams when a country has a tough decision to make they'll often times take the younger player in hopes it gives them good experience to lead in their 2nd tournament.

I never really thought Skjei looked skittish out there. The team hasn't been together very long, there's not much chemistry yet and it was their first actual game action. Everyone looked skittish, even Galchenyuk took a period to put his game together with his linemates and he's probably the 3rd best player in this tournament.
