Who said he was "put in a position to succeed"?
You said he was planted in the bottom six. He spent more time in the top six than the bottom under Ward. When I showed that, you bnrought out "but the blender". Yes, the blender was bad. But there were a lot of guys who just plain were playing better. And the problem with playing him at centre was that you had Monahan, Lindholm and Backlund. Should they have tried to shoehorn him an demote Backlund to 4th line at that point?
I acknowledge that the Flames bear the bulk of responsibility. You won't even allow for a fraction of the onus to be on the player.
