So I'm assuming this "raw talent" is being offset by some other criteria (such as team fit, personality, whatever). Otherwise he would be getting more opportunity.
He is 21-year-old rookie defenseman and he is playing for the #2 team in the entire League. Your expectations are too high.

I of course have no idea about specfics and other than what I've heard via hearsay and observed directly (e.g. Smith and he seem at odds... two big egos colliding perhaps).
This is hearsay and anecdotal. It’s worthless. George Johnson wrote a feature on Kylington a couple weeks ago, and it paints a picture of a very well grounded young man and an organisation which values him immensely.
