You don't think it could be because he wasn't the worst player by far, won a lot of key face-offs for the team for them last year and was a top player for Canada at the U-18's when he played there?

I would think that his U18 experience had a lot to do with him being on the team.
And I agree 100% that being a Leaf prospect is completely irrelevant.
But yeah, he was horrible for them last year. Easily their worst player - and there were several strong candidates.
