Be this as it may, he does not even seem to be responding positively to the new coach.
If I am the Flames, I am not so concerned about his ability to have a better season (especially in a contract year), I am more concerned about his character and interest in bringing his best for his team.
And my concern would be how you even figure that out. Perhaps his word behind closed doors is more meaningful than his word in public, but there is a disappointing trend there in terms of a gap between his talk and his action
