Or if they really still want to be a speedster, they could start using it to establish the zone and setup plays where other builds (like one based around shooting, or dangling) could come in to play.

Totally agree. I don't think they need to be unbeatable, but you can absolutely score at will on the breakaway right now. Don't even have to deke. You can just skate toward the corner of the net and shoot when you're on the goal line with a 100% success rate once you get the timing down.
