I think you really can appreciate what a player does when you actually coach him on a day-in, day-out basis.
Now to be fair, Panarin's two best seasons statistically may have been the years Gerard Gallant was the head coach, as he had 96 and 92 points respectively in the two seasons.
So far this season, Artemi Panarin is off to a hot start with three goals and seven points in five games.
Let's see how well he performs under Laviolette for the rest of the season to really compare the coaching philosophy.
The Rangers will soon be facing off against the Calgary Flames tonight, at Scotiabank Saddledome, in Calgary.
