With JP there seems to be a lot of smoke in the air about his lack of overall maturity and the ability to use his talents to their fullest because his grey matter may get in the way.

The best bet to overcome these is the answer.

Can't discount quality of linemates though, for sure.
With respect to the grey matter, I wonder how much of his ability to understand things is a language issue. When he was drafted by the Oilers, he did not understand any English.
