I don't disagree. But again, thinking of him as a first round asset, we need to start pumping his tires. I don't care if the guy is a head case or not, the skill is somewhere and its on our management team to figure out how to best get that out of him. Otherwise sorry we're going to write him off.
If I'm management I'm giving this guy the keys again (apparently its easy to do with veterans like Seto), pump his tires, make him live up to first round status that way and you know what - if you don't like his attitude - deal him for something decent.
As it stands right now all of this drama is being noticed and he's being recognized for a first round flop. In which case suicide watch? No but perception will become reality and he will be written off. A lot of hockey fans I know are already saying he's not going to work out...
As an employer it's your job to get the most out of your crew. Sometimes you don't get to pick and choose those with "confidence" issues... use a different approach already
