I haven’t watched him but it sounds like the main reason is that he’s not seen as a play driver and is more of the type of player who lets the play develop in front of him and will simply may you pay if the play materializes for him and the puck ends up on his stick. I imagine that would lead to some concerns that he’s more of a product of Boisvert and his other linemates, rather than the opposite. And his play away from the puck leaves much to be desired, apparently.
One scout has already pushed back on this (his play driving ability) so it’ll be interesting to see how things develop in the next few years for him.
