As long as Ward remains head coach of the Heat it's imperative that any top Flames prospects go directly to Calgary before he can get his hands on him and destroy their confidence.

Sven and Horak play top 6 when they play for the Heat. When you can't outplay AHL calibre forwards, how will you make it to the NHL as a top 6 forward? From all accounts Ward is definitely a teacher coach and not a Keenan screamer coach. It seems as though every call-up from the Heat are ready to play for the big club and that speaks volumes about the Heat's coaching.
