As far as him being a speedster, I thought he plays with pace, but doesn't really have a high top speed. He's pretty similar to Coleman that way.

Sprong isn't a speedster. He has decent speed, but his bread and butter is his shot.
The past few seasons, he has been one of the most efficient when you look at production to ice-time ratios.
