Swing and a miss.
I think he has loads of potential, but also think that Conroy is trying to build a very specific mood in the room. Conroy was part of the Flames 2004 run.

I got the impression that Kakko was high skilled, but not especially willing to get into the dirty spots. There's a video of Trouba hitting Kakko in practice. I assume that was because Kakko wasn't giving enough effort (and possibly because Trouba's a jerk).

Edit: Also possible Kakko didn't want to be part of a rebuild.
