So Trotz gets partial credit for Weber having the best slapshot in the league?Develop: to cause (something) to grow or become bigger or more advanced.
Nope. Developing young players and putting them in position to succeed is what coaching is about.
Using your thought process; I hire people I think have the right tools and then train them to do the job that needs to be done.
So you will hire with no experience with out credentials or similar job experience and expect they can be coached or trained to be productive and efficient.

Sounds like something the government would do, actually.
by the time you reach then NHL if you haven't figured out fundamentals like skating and passing and winning face-offs, whose responsibility is that to see that it improves? Is that even the kind of thing you can work on during a season?
I remember way back when, Adam Hall and Hartnell both got sent to skating school over the summer… seems like that is the only time to really work on individual skills would be the summer… I would think training camp and in season practices have to be basically about learning the system, figuring out team chemistry and such… there just doesn't seem like there is any time for individual instruction..
Horrible example. How many managers are there in the world? Millions?Yes. The last one I hired and trained is now a manager in Atlanta. I find people with the right tools and develop their skills. It's not like we are asking Trotz to turn basketball players into hockey players.
Generally speaking, offense can't be taught. Who taught Crosby? Who taught Weber how to hit a slap shot? Trotz?
Defense is much more about x's and o's where offensive ability is generally innate at a young age. Defense is more teachable overall.
Here's the difference-- Jones has innate rare skill that can be improved with experience. Skill that can't be taught-- and he's one of the few players we've had with that skill. Defense can be taught more than offense, but Jones has another level of talent. Just like Weber's slap shot was not created by Trotz.So Seth Jones isn't going to develop any more? Of course he is, and Trotz will help his development.

How many NHL players are there in the world? About 600.
These guys have an innate skills at a young age. Unless you tell me Trotz improved/developed/trained Weber's slapshot, most of what you are saying doesn't apply to NHL players.
Offense can be honed a little bit, but you can't teach someone without innate offensive talent to be a offense player. That's what being asked of Trotz with the quality of players Poile gets in here. This isn't the Army/Navy/etc where 100s of thousands can be trained like robots to do a job.
I didn't say that Trotz had to teach him new skills, he just has to develop those raw skills into NHL talent. If he didn't, rookies would never improve.
It's pretty easy-- No one has had the potential to be a top line forward in the league. Expect Radulov and he was on that path.Like I said, many teams have forward prospects who flourish for their team from the get go, or very early on. Not one forward has come in and stuck with this franchise, besides Radulov. If its been going on for 15+ and not one forward has risen to potential, that is not good.

Hartnell, Hornqvist scored just as much as Marchard playing with less talented linemates.Like I said, a guy like Marchand and Smith in Boston, had no intentions of being in their top 6 ON A CUP CONTENDER, and play extremely well. Things like that, is what this organization has not had and it will stay that way with Trotz, defense + two way forwards will not win you a damn championship. Its apparent, and that's why Trotz needs to go, Poile is atleast trying to add offense, then Trotz buries them.
