I would agree, but I think the Friedman story definitely made it sound like a "big 'personality'/too much 'personality' overshadowing the real star McDavid" issue, rather than Taylor Hall is a downer and not a pleasant person to be around (which imo does matter a lot in a work environment). That's just the impression I got, but I'd prefer it if you were right. I do think that fandom itself also tends use "personality" and "nonconformity" to mean the same thing, for whatever reason.
