There is the concern of too many cooks in the kitchen. Certainly for goalies.
However, given the upcoming generation of hockey players that get more and more specific training at younger and younger ages, as parents sink more and more money into hockey (and sports) for their kids, they'll be almost a baby sitting factor to consider for NHL teams hiring coaches and staff.
This would be because new NHL players are used to and expect to have, all sorts of specialized coaches and support staff, because that's what they have had for the previous 3-5 years every step of the way in elite programs, as teenagers. For better or worse.
