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.

The character issue to me was Fiala being described as 'extremely confident in himself'. For the record, I have no problem with confident players, but the way it was talked about, I felt like he was the type of guy I would want away from my Flames, who appear to be tight knit so far and a team first attitude.
It's maybe just me, but 'me first' players are not what this team is about. I would avoid.
