They learn how to use their teammates.

You can argue that this is a product of the system not properly developing/teaching their young players. Would Seguin be the player he is if he was brought up through the Oilers instead of the two-way system of the Bruins? My thoughts are no. The Oilers thought that these top picks would become great on their own. They were sorely mistaken.
