Not directly, no. It's the overall skill level in the league that matters.
As indicated above, development will be affected negatively if he's not good enough for the NHL yet. You'll see a note on the training view if this is the case.

I have a question regarding this. I have a few 5* talents and it's taking a long time before they're getting to a decent level (3.5 or higher), whilst I see other 4.5/5 star talents at other teams just blossoming within a few years and they're closing in on their peak ability in their early 20's.
Meanwhile I got Provorov (am the Flyers) who is still on 3.5 after he spent the first two seasons in the WHL, before playing the majority of the third season with the main team. Now i'm into the fourth season and he's just hanging at 3.5 and not really improving a lot. A lot of +1's, but nothing impressive.
I also had to trade away 5* rated Couturier because in 3 seasons he was still at 3.5. Whilst Voracek never got further than 4.
I know some players pan out and some won't, but I got a feeling like even with having players getting the right icetime they're improving at a dire rate.
I got practice on assistant, which should mean they're about on-par with the AI's own abilities, right?
I also got a load of assistant coaches to make the workload better.
