Yep, they've been telling him that since he was drafted. He's known from Day 1 that if anything was going to kep him out of the league, it was his legs.
He's worked phenomenally hard at it... he'll never be confused for Pavel Bure, and he's always going to look a little awkward, but his mobility and acceleration have improved to the point where the Sens don't see it as a detriment to his game anymore. He'll never win a Fastest Skater competition, but he's right around average as far as league skaters go.
