Don't get whatever joke that was... but he has 117 minors in 371 games and he only plays about 14 minutes of ice time. 1.4 minors per 60. More anecdotal, maybe other fans disagree, but it seems like 90% of them are hooking or slashing calls when he stops moving his feet and reaches. I really want him to succeed, most excited I ever was at a draft when they picked him. But for me, he's right where he deserves to be on the 3rd line based on his regular season production and discipline.
I haven't lost hope on him completely and don't blame him for wanting a change but hard for me to get behind the idea of handing him more icetime based on recent play. I had a lot of hope he was turning the corner after 2018-19 and what an advanced stats monster he was that year, despite the lack of points, but for me it hasn't happened.
I dont think the flames benefit at all from trading him though woth his current value- play out the season and let seattle pick him, or show him where his stock is at if they don't.
