One thing he has improved on greatly since last year is faceoffs. He's actually become quite okay this year compared to last year when he was horrid.
He also seems less clueless playing defense, but is still prone to gaffes and stupid turnovers (although I would say he makes more turnovers in the neutral zone than anything).
The other teams have started counteracting his speed with more conservative defensive play, but he still has the speed and explosiveness, if he can figure out how to use it even after the other teams' adjustments, then he can still find a way to excel.
Also I'm happy to see that he's playing pretty strong on the boards, but he also tends to turn it over after winning a board battle.
TL;DR:
-Better at faceoffs this season
-Better defensively this season, but still below average IMO
-Too many turnovers of all sorts
-Needs to figure out how to utilize his speed
