He doesn't have first line defensive skills, like a Toews, Datsyuk, Crosby, Getzlaf, etc. So head to head against a top line guy who scores
and backchecks, he's gonna lose out.
Now, as a winger, it's not a huge deal, if paired with a good defensive centre. Or he could work on his defensive game. A guy with speed and tenacity should be able to cover the point and half wall well.
