When they get their first chance, players run around wildly, hitting everything and generally causing chaos. Fans love it, and notice them. But coaches don't love it, and they start working with the player to do the things that they want. Then fans think they've lost their spark.

I disagree. The coaches and management were so happy with what Duehr brought during his first stint that he became a regular and was signed to a 2 year, one-way contract. If he was really doing more of what the coaches wanted then I doubt he would have spent the majority of last season in the minors.
We'll see what happens but I'd be very surprised if he makes the Flames out of camp this year. A guy like Hunt better suits your description in my opinion and I expect that he's ahead of Duehr in the pecking order.
