I disagree...
Would Mogilny have scored 76 goals that season if LaFontaine was not his center? He averaged a goal a game that season (77 games)
Or would he stayed closer to his season average of 20-30 goals?
A good player can only do so much on their own, but if you surround them with equally good players they can become great.
If Grigorenko is making plays and setting up players for goals, then those players start drawing attention away from him which will allow him to get into the shooting lanes.
I just feel it was a maturity issue at the beginning of his career and then he got lumped into the dog house.
Will be great to see how he performs with a new head coach that will allow him an equal opertunity with another good player or two on his line, instead of trying to work up out of the dog house.
