It's not about the individual player's skill- it's a culture thing. As the poster above me points out, Johnny displays a notable lack of commitment off ice to success on ice. Him being the highest point generating forward on the team immediately thrusts him into a leadership role. Other players take after the highest producing player. Do we really want other players coming into our club to take after Johnny's off ice habits?
The answer is #### no and it has been for a long time.
