Honestly his peak was #6 defenseman on a team that featured Gudbranson. He had just broken into the league full time and had to walk away for a season and a half. It's a huge uphill battle for anyone to come back after missing that time. I would hope he can find his game but not everyone can be one of the 192 best defensemen in the world. No shame in falling short, and he should be proud of what he has accomplished so far.
