You hear young guys talk about this all the time. Monahan is constantly priasing Gio for helping him learn. I think it's even more so with goalies. IMO.

Don't buy it.
The NHL is not a teaching league. It is a performance league. If you aren't good enough you aren't going to be given a lot of time to be taught - particularly if you are a goalie.
