This seems to be the sentiment. Saw him a few times in Stockton and he stood out. Obviously the NHL is a different beast, but his commitment seems to be waning. He doesn't bring enough gristle at this point to thrive in the bottom six, and this limits his chances to grab the coaches' attention and climb the food chain. Haven't seen him live with the Flames, but will be at the Vegas game. I am interested to see how his speed and acceleration play in person at the NHL level.
