I hadn't heard the character issue stuff- can you elaborate a bit Moncton?

I recall there was some chatter about issues when he was moved from Nashville, but I assumed it was opportunity/playing time related, and he kind of put that to bed when he stepped up in Minnesota.
Looks like he’s bigger than the profile I came across.

I’m not so sure it is a character issue, but I think what Friedman and Marek discussed was that he is very self assured/confident, which can rub people the wrong way.
