Others have already mentioned that he was a late season bloomer and, playing in Gatineau, was probably already pegged on most lists and wasn't being watched.
Also, by farthe lowest ranking was ISS which pulled down the consensus. ISS is very Europea basd and they likely never reviewed him in the latter part of the season.
By all accounts, it seems that everyone that was watching him at the end of the season and in the playoffs had him ranked higher / as a sleeper.
Someone mentioned Burrows above. I know it' sacrilege here, but I agree - he really reminds me of Burrows. And a strong, fast, Burrows, without the deuchiness and the Nuckness would be ok by me.
