None of that matter however, because he is an absolute bone-head and I'm convinced that you can't teach someone hockey smarts at this point in a career

Sadly, that seems to be the case. It does make me wonder how with scouting becoming so sophisticated, that aspect of play still seems so hard to predict. Most of the high pick draft busts seem to be guys who can't process the NHL game, rather than lacking in any physical dimension. Maybe teams fall in love with the physical tools and just hope the mental part will fall into place.
