He seemed to be putting it all together as he entered the league. Thought he would be at least Rielly-level but it never really clicked. What happened?

Oh come on. The Leafs are to blame? Perhaps they're just not good enough. This "mishandled development" thing is tired.They mishandled his development. Inserting him in the playoffs when he hadn't played hockey in a calendar year and wasn't a NHL regular. Then the next year when he was at his best with a year more experience they scratch him for no reason and replace him with Liljegren who wasn't playing well. They did a similar thing with Liljegren, playing him when he wasn't doing well and then scratching him when he had confidence. Not to mention the shameful structure less defense that was built by this team over the last 5 years. They were thrown to the wolves and had to play with each other a lot of the time, it's a miracle that Sandin and Liljegren are still in the league tbh.
Can't skate <> RiellyCan’t skate, can’t defend
Him, lilijgren, dermott all three big time busts from 2015-2018 era
All three insanely overrated at one point here as well
Leafs cant develope d-men
Or can't draft them? Maybe a bit of both.
But it's quite noticeable that going back 10-15 years or more, this team hasn't exactly done well with home grown D men.
We miss his 3 goals terribly.He did cut it, but wanted a bigger role on a team desperately in need of crease clearing bruisers. Hence the trade.
Then of course we got a bunch of bruisers and couldn't score so.... You know.
