That's the big criticism of traditional scouting, any time a player does something that looks different from the prototypical player, it gets flagged as a possible problem even if it doesn't affect the player's game at all.
Sam Reinhart has also has his skating criticized, but they say that's because he wears his skates with the tongues sticking out, so his skating looks weird because they kind of flop around when he's at speed.

Lol, I was just coming in to say this. He hunches over constantly, looks like Lucic out there. Only halfway through watching the first, but he has been noticable out there.
