Yup, and Jarome Iginla was a piece of crap under Sutter, but a superstar under Keenan, right. His scoring stats were not quite as strong or consistent under Sutter because he was expected to play a two way game. Under Keenan he could do whatever he wanted and his stats improved greatly. Systems affect scoring, even with great players. It is not only unfair to use stats to try and say a player who plays under a defensive system is a weak player, it is down right stupid.
