I take comments about character issues with a big grain of salt. There is a lot of '"old boys club wanting unearned respect" energy in hockey. And far too often things like skin colour and birth country are the difference between "good boy showing his passion for the gsme" and "cocky showboater with no respect for the game".
Unless you are in the room or know them personally, who knows. From their track record, I will trust the flames scouts on character.
