You'd be hard pressed to find an NHL player that doesn't have their own support system outside of the organisation. Most do, and I'd bet a hefty some that every top level guy does at very least.
Still, you're not wrong in questioning the development system the Flames have had over the past decade or two, but it doesn't particularly apply here.

How so? One of the few Flames draft picks to even make the squad has a crippling
deficiency in his game mid-season, how is it not the job of the Flames organization to help identify and correct that? Why should that be left to the job of whoever the player contracts as a third party?
