Yeah that's my take. I am assuming that during his time away from the NHL that he may have had some counselling on how to better assimilate with players and different personalities in a locker room and either this was a suggestion or he came up with it himself with good intentions. Whether it be poor implementation or him still having a lot to learn about dealing with people, things didn't work out as intended. Not ideal but I don't think this is anything like what the podcast guys are trying to spin it into.
