You just proved my point...No?
Last I looked Iginla developed into a hall of fame hockey player
Stillman was a legit top 6 forward, with multiple 30 goal seasons and 2 Stanley cups
Bure had numerous seasons in which he was a top 6 winger.
Savard, after being buried on the 3rd line/ benched/ scratched etc he traded for garbage had an extremely effective career. In Atlanta he was allowed to play becoming one of the top 10 playmakers in the NHL, helped Atlanta reach playoffs for the first time, and was the #1 center in Boston.
Not to mention only Jarome Iginla (of the players you mentioned) played under Darryl Sutter.
Not sure how you proved your own point there....
