If AA eliminates that poke and hope move from his game by first moving to be on the defensive side if the puck then he'll be better off in two ways. One, he will give up fewer goals and that will help his +-. Two, he'll get more minutes from the coach. He's so fast that he'll still get breakout chances even when being a little bit more defensive. If that plays out this season then I think 3 Mil per season will seem cheap. Fingers crossed!

The place where I see AA do a bad habit frequently is when there is a battle for the puck in the offensive zone. The other player has half a step on AA and he reaches around the player with one hand on the stick and attempts to poke check. The dreaded poke and hope. AA was put on the PK in hopes that it would teach him to play better defense. If you poke and hope on the PK you easily get burned.
