^Yes, he is actually playing a different style of hockey overall, but he was trending that direction with the Flames this year, it's just that he had no minutes and awful linemates to do that with, so there wasn't much in terms of results.
I noticed that Sam finally figured out his game this year. He still tries to dangle now and then, but he is much more straightforward in his style of game. Grinding, front of net, driving the puck towards the net whenever he can. He's just finally settled into who he is, but unfortunately it's with a different team.
Helps to play with Huberdeau too. He's got an incredible linemate there.
