His player utilization was terrible. Notice how those players are all really young. The oldest one is 27. They had career years because they're developing!
so all young players develop?

Or do they need to be put in positions to succeed in order to develop?

If what you say is true, what makes the Flames young player success so much better than what Edmonton has accomplished with much higher pedigree draft picks?

The problem you have with this argument is that it simply isn't true. The players the coach was given were utilized successfully, with the exception of Wideman on the PP.

Scotty Bowman wouldn't have made the playoffs with that goaltending this season.
