Not really. A lot of skilled players were flops as coaches. Gretzky is the prime example. But there have been others. And these days most highly skilled players are so rich they just retire from the game.
And the centre of the big offensive line on the great Habs teams of the 70s was the biggest defensive minded coach maybe in the history of the NHL.
