Coach Crawford propensity to subjective judgement and quick hook

A friend of mine and a Canuck fan posed this question to me the other day. Before I tell you what I answered him, let us play with some ideas among Kings fans.

His original question was:

Given the recent history of negative subjective judgement
and quick-hook management of some players,
do you think such attitude by coach Marc Crawford
might inhibit Kings' chances in the upcoming season?

Here's some more contextual explanation that I received:

"I mean - trashing some players as a result of "I know better" preconceptions. [...] The attitude you see in an excerpt of the recent Todd Bertuzzi interview for the Vancouver Sun, where he talks about how Crawford handled Brad May:

>>He never played him. He never gave him a chance to show what he could do. Here was a guy who was a 15-year war vet, a warrior, a guy who had fought every tough guy in the league and yet he was never put out there in any other kind of situation. And this was a guy who could handle all kinds of roles in the league. That really bothered me.<<

There are more Canuck-based mismanagement traits:

- Artiom Chubarov scores 12 goals pegged into a checking line and never gets a chance to play any higher. As a result, he is offered a contract in the Russian league, which the Canucks decline to do anything about [...].

- Jiri Slegr, a defensman, is on fire, then gets benched and plays some 16 games for the Canucks. His next two seasons are pretty good... with the Boston Bruins, though.

- During the 2002/03 season Brandon Reid is tearing the AHL up, gets the call-up to the NHL, scores five points in seven games (!) and is promptly relegated to the AHL. He makes only three appearances in the following season and as a result defects for Germany and Switzerland, where he turns out to be a point-per-game player.

- Brendan Morrison, ironman, is never really liked by Crawford, but manages to keep his place in the lineup thanks to great chemistry with Naslund and Bertuzzi.

- Proverbial backup aversion on the part of coach Crawford, also towards pretty good backups, such as Peter Skudra - top Russian league goalie right after he left Vancouver, Johan Hedberg - dependable for the Dallas Stars or Mika Noronen, who played just one game since he was traded to the Canucks." [...]

Now, I'm not following the Canucks as close as the Kings, but there seems to be some first-hand evidence of subjective judgement and history of quick hooks on players. Do you think it was Vancouver-specific (team coach Crawford spend a couple of years with and one supposedly on the brink of imminent playoff success, which never really materialized)? Or can such attitude affect the Kings this year?
