Yeah, Torts probably hasn't helped matters, but I'd say the damage was done way before he ever rocked up.

Exactly. This is on Johansen not Torts as the issues pre-date his hiring. I'm kind of surprised how so many fans that would avoid Kassain because he's a problem player are willing to overlook what is clearly a problem player in Johansen albeit more gifted talent-wise. This guy makes Taylor Hall look like Mark Messier captain material in comparison.
