After watching a brief highlight video on youtube, I would say that while he doesn't look 'lightning fast' in a lot of these clips, he also doesn't really need to be. He's absolutely massive, and his positional play and fundamentals look rock solid. Even when he is forced to scramble, he has very good body control.
His glove position is also very good; keeps it nice and high, possibly to compensate for a lack of speed as you mentioned, but at least he's aware that high glove is a spot worth protecting. Unlike Karlsson.
He had better be in Calgary next year.
