That somehow met a lot of resistance and dismissal here though.
One guy even suggested there were several players with career years under Peters. Even though Staal was his top scorer those first two years with 50 ish points and nobody has touched 70 points during his tenure.

Is that a measure of the coach, or the players? It's probably both.
So if you can't discount Staal's struggles, you also can't discount other players' ability to excel. It's a zero sum argument.
