Really? I always got the impression he was trying but it's painfully obvious he lacks hockey IQ, at both ends of the ice. He can skate and shoot but he can't think the game the way you would expect a former 1 OA should. All the talent necessary but he thinks the game below the level of even Rene Bourque types.
