Some fans think like that. I think its lazy thinking.
Its why guys like Hall and Kessel got crapped on by fans when they were in Edmonton and Toronto. Ditto for Iginla at the end of his career in Calgary.
It's why people were calling Toews a top 3 NHL center.
Its easier to just pin the success and failures of a team on one guy than to try and analyze the underlying factors of why certain teams win or lose.
