From what I've observed on JM for this year.
His speed has increased but only marginally.
Problem is he seems only able to have a decent spurt fresh off the bench, but cannot sustain it after one sojourn down the ice. Most players can usually do a couple of full length back/forth before tiring, but JM looks only capable of 1/4 @ full throttle.
Thus, his speed still being below average IMO and poor stamina, will not be an effective big leaguer. Everyone's O2 capabilities differ and his seems at the low end.
He is willing to pay price in corners and front of net..good...he shoots from anywhere...good...but for the most part is not elusive enough to get himself into prime scoring position at this level.
Totally OK if he can be traded for whatever max offer given, otherwise, AHL star long term in Hawks system.
