I don't really get the narrative that AV isn't good with young players. Go look at the age of the Canucks core when AV started there, they were right at that age where Gaudreau, Monahan, Bennett, Brodie, Hamilton, Backlund are right now.

AV grew with that core group which was in the early 20's. The reason why he didn't play young players at the end of his tenure with the Canucks is because they didn't have any.

As for the Rangers, don't really understand the complaints either, I see lots of young players on those rosters putting up pretty decent points. Some fans just want to see all young players and no veterans.
