He had a lot of confidence no doubt. I actually liked his personality - he was very engaging and kind of a neat guy.
But similar to a lot of players the quality of his play seemed to be really centered on his confidence, and when it waned he couldn't get it back.
I don't view it as a character flaw though. But it is something that could hold him back if he doesn't figure it out. If he makes the NHL I could see him being a very streaky scorer - a guy that goes on a tear for a few weeks but then is invisible for a few.
