1. He never led (as captain, leader, and franchise player) the Flames to anything other than mediocrity.
2. His off-ice antics were not that of a role model (specifically during his playing days).
3. His off-ice personality was very self-centered. You've read his book, it's right there. There's a fine line between confidence and being egotistical.
4. He is not recognized in the same vein as McDonald and Iginla when it comes to the Flames. Ask the casual, out of market fan who they think of when they hear Calgary Flames...I have no statistical evidence, but I expect you'll hear 2 names, and they don't contain Theoren or Fleury.
