Toffoli’s problem is conditioning and overall laziness (as usual, like most people that get paid big NHL contracts). Toffoli just isn’t interested in putting forth the CONSISTENT work ethic needed over a season. 82 games, Toffoli will come to work about 1/4 of them. Because his talent level is insane, he gets away with it. It’s pretty obvious he’s just one of those guys that won’t compete when you need them to.

Toffoli and Jarnkrok turned out to be massive failure by Treliving. It’s not even debatable. You can argue that he had to make some deals to go for it but that’s about it. Now shut up or you get labeled as being negative. It’s never a Flames fault.
