This advice must have been offered to him many times when he first came in the league, and we've seen him make no effort towards it. If you want to win as you say, the offseason isn't when the work stops.
With all the skill in the world, he could make his own space if he was just able to stay on his feet. That would do wonders for his game. His weakest link is those toothpicks he steps on the ice with every home opener, time to take your training seriously my guy.

I can;t picture Johnny with the massive legs of Martin St. Louis!! May need some photo shopping to get him beefed up!
