IMO the Bruins micromanaged him. It wasn't like at his age on a veteran laden team that he was being counted on to be a leader and the guy keeps himself in phenomenal shape so it's not like he was a party animal that rolled out of bed and to the arena. I don't have any issue with them being concerned about him going out on occasion but to give up on a talent like that at his age is just poor asset management. Teams have to be delusional to think that every 18-20 year old player is going to be all business every day at that age.
