The answer in a big no.
Kent was a player that Gretzky said had more talent than he did but only used it when he felt like it. Drove coaches, especially Badger Bob crazy with his indifferent play and disappearing act in the playoffs. It resulted in Badger Bob asking Cliff Fletcher to trade him as he didn't want him on his team.
It irked me that he had some god given talent but chose not to use it.
