Even at the beginning of the year he admitted that him and Darryl don't talk. That's a failure on both the player and the coach. He always seems to deflect and take no responsibility. And this post isn't saying the head coach isn't equally as responsible. There should be dialogue and both need to grow up.


But once that incident with the agent got out in the open, JH had a very good game saying it "fired him up". Where was that effort before and after? It's like I said once before if it was iggy, he would take it as a challenge start a fight, take his game to the next level. Johnny G and Iggy could take the game over, that's why they got paid. JH didn't really have a leadership role in Florida, he needs to stop being passive and be the leader out there rather than vent to his agent. Sutter may have put him on the other wing out of his comfort zone to challenge him, Of course he is going to get praised by Sutter if he steps up his game.
