Imagine if we had a veteran head coach who could actually provide player feedback to the GM. Instead we have a coach who bounces people between the top line and the AHL, or the top line and the taxi squad.
If effort truly the issue then you insert guys from the taxi squad who are willing to skate through a brick wall for their chance...see Buddy Robinson. Of course Ward is in love with guys like Leivo and Froese, so the other young guys only get a chance in a blowout. Again see Robinson.
To me this goes back to Geoff "please don't make a mistake" Ward not willing to risk a spot on less known guys, so he goes with useless vets instead.
I can fully see why this team doesn't play for him.
