[@jamesoneill619]

Why aren't you in the NHL?!

[@jakedale8399]

James Oneill Warning this is just a guess you will have to wait for him to respond for you to know exactly.
Explanation: Just because you are good at skills and have a good shot and that sort of thing doesn't mean you have the hockey sense and decision making needed for the NHL. Also maybe he is not fit enough you have to be very fit for the NHL. That is just my guess
