To be Honest, I'm not so sure Playfair is the best guy for developing these prospects. I don't mind him as a coach at all but I feel under Tippett, the skill get phased out in favor of structured defensive, boring hockey. I certainly don't think the likes of Gaudreau or Granlund or Sven will blossom under that structure.
There's certainly a better coach out there in terms of developing the offensive side as well as teaching pro defensive structure.
