I found it interesting in the fall when Ward was hired.
a) It took a long time, even longer than what Treliving suggested
b) Laviolette was hired a day earlier
Honestly think Ward was the 2nd or 3rd choice and they had to go with what they had.
Wouldn't surprise me if they were turned down by a few coaches given the team's recent struggles, and covid (who wants to move / family etc).
Could still be the case now.
