Yeah, that's basically what I was getting at when I said it was different because he's from there... the Heat's success is probably far more important to him then it is to me. I want the Heat to win... but I want something else from them far more.
I mean the concept of "throwing someone to the wolves" is generally regarded as being a bad thing... but on the flip side if you do it you get to know who's a wolf-killer.
I just want the young guys to get many shots at being wolf-killers and I fear that if you stock the farm with AHL vets they won't get the kind of chances that they ought. I don't trust Ward to give them ice-time (and it's not like having Walter, Kolanos, Brust, Street, Taylor etc. got them into the playoffs last year).
