With the way he's playing, I wouldn't change a part of his game right now. Every defenceman gives the puck away now and then.

Sportsnet really love to run with angles that seem convenient, but are not backed up with evidence.
Basically they're a collection of amateurs who happen to have the vast majority of rights to the Canadian teams.
The high risk/reward thing around Oliver was prominent when he first came on to the scene and the AHL. But now he's the default #4 d-man on one of the top defensive teams in the league. That wouldn't be the case if he hadn't improved his all around game.
