So, I'm okay with the Flames taking Sillinger even if all this data is correct because Wheeler says Sillinger possesses a skill set that is impossible to teach and intelligence to improve his game in teachable areas.

Yes, these seems to be the takeaways. Another thing to note is that many of the hesitations on Sillinger were non-existent last year. His play was more even when he was with the Medicine Hat Tigers.
Another thing with Sillinger is that non of his line mates this year were very elite. He practically doubled the production of anyone else on his team. That could explain part of the "selfishness" and lack of high danger passing.
