And skating. His skating works at the level he's at, but he's going to get torched in the NHL due to his lack of quickness and overall speed. He doesn't have the reach to make up for his lack of quickness.
Honestly, I'm surprised so many people are dying to sign him right away. He's far from a finished product. He has some amazing attributes, but he has a handful of significant deficiencies. He's not NHL ready, regardless of what the stats say. He's probably AHL ready, but needs at least 1 or 2 years to work on his game to become NHL ready. Why not just let him do that in the NCAA? It worked for Jankowski.
