Really? I haven't come across this. Usually when I hear them dissecting his skating, they say stuff like "Good speed, but not high-end", or something similar. I have heard his skating is 'average' to 'above average', with elite-level edges.
Interesting if true. I would agree he isn't speedy though - just 'adequate' but shifty from all the games I saw him in.
