argumentum ad absurdum. Say it ain't so Joe... and you a text critic.
I see absolutely nothing askew....
Precisely why other perspectives can be useful for those truly prepared to surrender their existing ideas for higher ones.
What "observations"? What should not be "facilitated"? What is "given"?
Being a tad obtuse and pedantic here are we not? Clearly meant "if there are any other issues... I'm not suggesting that talent alone should trump them". Why would you find the need to growl, demean and demand specificity when nuance and common sense can suffice. This is not a mathematical proof we're discussing. I'm not going to dabble in "hearsay". I don't quote it... I don't value it. I also don't deny it exists. It's out there... go find it yourself.
For greater clarity... "I hope not... but I wonder if... Kylington's youthful personae/past is being given more weight than it should... because this guy is a real talent.
How is this relevant?
Well I guess I'm seeing "relevance" in playoffs/injuries and Seattle expansion. If somehow Kylington should have stayed and didn't I'd be sad. Just trying to keep a "lighthouse" perspective in case he ends up unprotected or gets bundled up in some trade deal that we regret.
Comment about what? What exactly are you expecting here?
More ice time. Special teams. Get ready for playoffs and be better prepared in case he has to step up in the event of injuries. At least give him his regular shifts.
But this is your opinion about a player that you watch on television or at a distance from a seat in an arena. There are manifold reasons for why a 21-year-old first year NHL defenseman is being sheltered and limited in his usage. You will need a hell of a lot more than your own impressions to convince anyone of "mismanagement."
Mismanagement is almost always something that results from "out of awareness". No need to infer "fault" or "criticism". Very similar to the passenger in a car saying "look out". Why attack my credentials? I've offered none.
The answer to your question is "this is pretty normal."
Well let's hope we don't fumble away something extraordinary by treating it as if it isn't... treating it normally as if it is normal.
You're not Spiderman. I suggest what you are sensing is more likely to stem from something you ate.

So the message is lost because the person carrying it wasn't considered qualified? How exactly do "credentials" and "authority" predict performance? Now I'm baiting... I'm sorry. They don't of course.
The message is what it is.. who delivers it is a factor that is far too often allowed to bias.
