I wonder if we're being too hasty in dismissing Ward as a coach candidate. I mean, he's had a half season to prove himself, part of which must be divesting old systems and Peters' style, and which was broken up by the ASG break.
I still don't think he's a front runner for the permanant gig, but plenty of coaches take time to warm into the job. People think pretty highly of Maurice now in Winnipeg but he was closer to being fired early on (at least fans wanted it).
