From what I remember it was said there was some disagreement between the Flames wanting to have the same program for their AHL team as in the NHL. Maybe Ward is a little head strong on how he wants to run things?
It seemed to me that Ward was more interested in winning than in developing players. The way he handled Irving didn't do him any favours when Irving was struggling. Meanwhile Huska has stuck with Ortio through his slow start and it's paying dividends.
