I hope he gets back to the simple game as he simply doesn't have the talent to do those things.

Not a fan of this "doesn't have talent, so shouldn't try to do things talented people do" attitude. Jooris is in his third year pro, second in the NHL. If that move starts working better for him as he adjusts, it's a better play then a simple dump in. You need to make mistakes to learn what works and what doesn't at this level.
