I'm cutting him some slack because it seems that it takes about 40 games for players to grasp Gulutzan's system (if they ever do) but I think he's been very average at best as I can think of maybe two games where he stood out as having a good game. He wasn't very good last season for the Islanders so maybe he's just not that great and the Flames bought high for an overrated player? Wouldn't be the first time a team overpaid for a player that wasn't as good as the hype.
