Maybe he's a methodical player instead of a Ferland type that hits everything and is all over the ice but doesn't really do much where it counts. There's no talent needed to skate around like a chicken with it's head cut off.

It cuts both ways I think. A prospect in top shape shows dedication and commitment. A prospect in less than ideal shape may actually have another gear if their fitness issues are addressed (see Andersson, Rasmus). Of course, they may never address these issues (see Medvedev, Andrei).
