The problem isn't throwing it back to the point, the problem is that our point men aren't doing much with it, when they get it. Does VAN throw it back to the point? Yes. Then Hughes makes a play. Do the Avs throw it back to the point? Yes...
Blaming the coach for a lack of plays is overly simplistic, and lazy.

This. Todays NHL offence is largely driven from plays back to the point. The offensive choices are much more limited from the corners or along the wall.
This kind of reminds me of the complaints about the drop back pass on the powerplay everyone voiced a few years ago. They acted like the Flames were badly coached for doing that when pretty much every single team uses that play.
