If you all of a sudden got 5 inches taller, you would have trouble walking much less skating. I don't know a ton about his history, but I assume he hasn't been like this since he was 15. I think there's a solid skating base, not the best thing ever. But Chara isn't an amazing skater either. When I saw Tyler Myers when he was 16 or 17 he looked like Bambi On Ice, he could barely stand up out there. This isn't too bad, it's pretty fluid, it's a good start, IMO. He's no Jay Bouwmeester, but this is more than serviceable in my opinion.
