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.

I don’t think the complaints are because of general usage, but more so for specific instances where a player gets into AV’s doghouse and never gets out.
The most recent example being limiting Buchenevich’s ice time, playing him in a checking role, and even scratching him for Tanner Glass at times.
