He tends to drift around because it takes him a bit to get up to speed, so if he isn’t moving he is caught flat-footed. Not that worried about it long-term, because I believe he will become a better skater as he progresses. Just want him to be able to use his skills and vision yo effect the game and if he is skating at an average level it will allow him to make more things happen. Just my personal opinion.
