Kind of weird that you don't notice his skating tbh, watch his first three steps to get to loose pucks

I disagree with the bold. He was walked around/over out of the corner more than any other D on the flames. Lost most of his board battles as well....could not contain or box out, being a small guy he needed to be much better at that, agree his skating was good.
