I’m curious what others think, but personally, I’d rather see Gridin focus on putting up big offensive numbers. When he was up with the Flames, his defensive play didn’t look like an issue to me. So why try to change his game? Maybe I’m overthinking it, but he has the tools to be the kind of offensive difference-maker this team badly needs. I just hope they’re not overemphasizing the defensive side and holding back his offensive potential.

Yea, that’s the Flames way. Make sure your offensive players turn into defensive grinders and lose all goal scoring ability. They have to fit into the system.
