The scuttle butt around the bowels of GM place is that the vision has really affected how fast he can play the game basically the speed at which he can operate. He was fine for faceoffs but once the speed picked up his lack of vision or vision imbalance almost made for a sort of vertigo and disorientation. It was also rumoured that it took him a few extra moments to recover from hits compared to normal players.
Either way it is a legit problem and a damn shame. I remember really wanting him on the Flames when the Canucks got him.
