Krahn is much the same - look at the way the Hitmen basically gave him to Seattle because they were tired of dealing with him.
I think your statement on Oliwa probably has merit at least on some of his past teams....there was zero evidence this was a problem in Calgary, in fact when the Flames clinched the playoff spot late in the season, I watched Kobasew and Saprykin hoist Oliwa on their shoulders and skate him off the ice "for he's a jolly good fellow" style
he really fit in (from what I could tell ) in Calgary and was a good influence on the young guys. but again, I don't pretend to be in the know
as for Krahn, it sounds like a lot of people have heard he's cocky...enough to put some merit to it--but like others have said I bet he's been knocked down a few pegs: major injury, essentially dumped from the Hitmen, playing in the ECHL...I would imagine he's learned and grown alot from that (again knowing nothing specific about the situation)
