IMO Ward is worse than Gulutzan was from a system perspective, and is worse from a bench management point of view too.

Ward has the best roster available to him compared to any of the Flames previous coaches with this core, and IMO he’s getting the least out of them. He’s only been more successful because he gotten the best goaltending of any of the four coaches.
I mean, this makes total sense. Ward is not a head coach. He was brought on from NJ to run the power play, not design 5v5 systems or run the bench. How many people are successful learning on the job at the NHL level?
