He was still young. He just needed time to grow into the comfort level required to play his style of play in the playoffs. Power forwards are a different breed... unless you're blessed with the size of Eric Lindros, it just takes longer to develop than other forward styles.

It took Iggy 5-6 years before he was a beast too.
