Myself, I wasn't a Ward fan but I didn't think he was awful either, so thinking they can do better is a good option.

Irving played very well in his stint with the Flames, IMO. And he was called up because of his strong play.
When he went back down, he rode the pine. Then he had some personal issues. By the time he got a chance to play regularly again, he wasn't the same.
So it was Ward refusing to play him THEN he 'was awful'
