And I don't think you can create that.
He is who he is and has a lot of attributes that are both rare and important in the NHL.
I wish he would play with more edge too, but I think anyone expecting that to come suddenly will be forever frustrated.
He is who he is.

He has tremendous skills that are extremely valuable in this league. But he is likely a complementary player for some of the reasons you mention. I suppose that makes him the kind of player that can be traded to a team in dire need of that skill set. Maybe GG’s system doesn’t emphasize those skills as much as other systems.
Which begs the question of whether GG is the long term answer. And how th Flames proceed is based on the answer to that question.
