Also, Neal's off ice issues weren't necessarily locker room related but I supposed they could have rubbed off there. There, I do think Treliving could have done a bit more homework.
Lazar wasn't brought in for leadership either, though they liked his character (and who didn't). It was a "first round pick who maybe needs a change of scenery to reach his potential" trade.

I had heard that Brouwer wasn't happy with Gulutzan and his usage along the same lines of Neal with Peters. I think even Boomer and the morning guys brought it up a few times.
