BS! A coach and an organization can only do so much. A very large % of development in on the player and is his Skill / Commitment factor.
- Gallagher has skill and committed to fitness. That's why he is who he is today.
- McCarron does not have high end skill but does have commitment to fitness. He is a fringe NHL player. It was a bad 1st round pick
- DLR has limited skill and is committed to fitness. We have to see what he can do in a full season to figure out if he is a 3rd line player or a 4th line player.
- Kostitsyn had skill but was a bit lazy and lacked consistency. He was who he was.
- Scherbak has skill but has dealt with injuries. He is finally starting to show potential this year. Did Sly destroy him?
Sly needs to be fired but that is about his coaching ability and team results. Not because he can't develop McCarron into a top 6F!
