Because he was a nobody on planet hockey until the OHL. He wasn't committed to hockey until he was 15-16 years old, focusing on tennis before that, which lead to him playing in none-elite leagues which aren't scouted.
He only ended up in the OHL thanks to Marco Rossi's dad telling the 67' to go watch him. They are neighbors.
Yeah, pretty interesting background - it's not an excuse not to scout him this year, however.
