Eric Staal’s production dip, sustained for 2 full seasons with Peters, and his renaissance in Minnesota may suggest it could be something else.
Whether Peters got the most available out of the team you can seek to justify, however I think there is a clear answer as to whether he got the most out of Eric Staal

Staal is ONE player. Peters seems to have done just fine with others like Aho, Teravainen, Skinner, and Justin Williams had a great year playing for him. I think you are setting far too much importance into the improvement or decline of a single player under a coach.
