Because if he's just lazy then that can be a bad habit to break...but the latter can sometimes get you a star once they actually make it to the NHL.

I remember people thinking Ryan Getzlaf was lazy and had motivational issues...when really the guy just didn't want to play in the WHL anymore.
His issues appear to be carrying over to the AHL. If he thinks he's above any league but the NHL, that's a pretty dangerous attitude to have. He was a late 1st round pick and didn't really accomplish much in the WJC tournaments he played in.
