Skating is something that can be improved upon. IQ is a more difficult thing to work on, you kind of either have it or you don't.
I think what people are saying is that his skating hasn't seemed to improve since entering the league so its natural to question whether or not he's been working on improving faults in his game, especially in the context of contract negotiation.
