I think you are cherry-picking players to suit your argument. The fact of the matter is that Brodie did not become a full-time NHLer until after a final half-season in which he toiled in the AHL under the tutelage of Ward. The only AHL coach that Sven Baertschi has ever played for was Troy Ward, and the difference between how he played prior to his AHL assignment compared to how he looked when he was recalled was demonstrable. You cannot simply choose not to give Ward some credit for this because Baertschi did not play a full season in Abbotsford. The fact of the matter is that he was arguably better for it.
