(I know Tkachuk has taken skating lessons in the summer but who knows how hard he’s worked on it personally).
Point always had speed, just his mechanics weren't NHL quality. Lots of guys improve their skating at an NHL level, strength, stride, balance, maybe acceleration. But I just don't believe the speed is something you can teach. Is why I pointed out the two guys on our team.
