I continue to think that criticism of his effort is largely because he skates really smoothly. Sure he's guilty of reaching sometimes, but that's probably because he's always been able to do it successfully, and what defenceman doesn't get caught sometimes.
I recall others who ad the same issue - they moved seemingly effortlessly so people thought there was no effort.
