I have confidence that the Flames will continue to work with him, but you can only lead a horse to water.

Kind of makes me chuckle how Button, Treliving et al were parading this idea at the 2015 draft and dev camp that you can teach proper nutrition, lifestyle, fitness and how they were willing to take a chance on a guy who maybe scored low in those categories because it's teachable. 1 year out the guy they picked who had those fitness and weight issues, is still having the same issues and they're mad. Seems they wanted to have their cake and eat it too. I could've told em you can't make a lazy person un-lazy.
