Pocket this, because Brady Skjei's next contract just had it's bar set.

I think it's a valid comparable but still think that Skjei earns less value. I don't think he's anywhere near as good as Ghost in the offensive zone, and I think he's only (this year at least) marginally better defensively.

They did have the same number of points this year, with Brady getting 2 less minutes per game, and 23 of Ghost's points came on the PP compared to 7.

I covered this a lot here. They're on very comparable career trajectories right now. Yes, that's "early" to say for Skjei after just one season, but the numbers fully support it.
