Put yourself in his shoes. He thinks he's ready to be playing in the NHL with the team he's been practicing with for half a season. Flames tell him he's going back to Kingston to play junior again. Now he's 18, justifiably upset, and now there's people coming up to him and wanting to talk to him. Of course he's not going to be interested in conversations with people he doesn't know. Why would he be?
As an aside, why on Earth would anyone approach someone in a situation like this, try to start up a conversation, and then take a picture of them at one of the lowest points in their life? Why? I don't get it.
