A stint overseas, and a different coach now in CGY has helped him overcome the confidence problem IMO, but now he can't shake the injury bug. I was pleased when he came back after that first injury and picked up exactly where he left off, unlike last season where he had a solid pre-season, got hurt and when he came back nearly got sent down to the farm, he was so bad and lacking confidence. Was a good sign IMO.
I really think he's going to put it all together in the coming seasons, I just hope it's with the Flames.

Well, hes going to have to sort himself out really quick, because I think the patience with him is just about gone.
And I hope he does sort it out and stick with this team, but if he doesnt, it isnt the end of the world, as a Calgary Flame he has not contributed a whole ton.
