Ward on Kulak's development plan (Howse reference)
Quote:
According to Ward, his play with the puck is not where Kulak's future development will lie, it's his play away from the puck, and where the his teaching will be highly focused.
"His assets are his hands and his vision, his feet. Now we're going to have to find out if he has the toolbox. You can have all the tools, but have no toolbox … It's very similar, if you take the pressure off of him, you could say he's in a very similar situation to Ryan Howse and Bryan Cameron. They're fifty-plus goal scorers, but never could play beyond that level because they had great tools, but no toolbox. That's the thinking part, the composure part, the relaxed part, how to share the puck, when to share the puck - those types of things.

Not sure I like him naming names there. No need to throw former players under the bus after the fact.

Maybe he didn't have a toolbox, but Howse had an extra large lunch box I'm sure.

I'm guessing that he is sending the kid a message? I assume he could do it through private channels so maybe it is aimed at others as well?

That is borderline stealing Harry Neale's line "all the tools, no toolbox", most often used in describing former Flames Michel Petit

RFP is going to lose it in the AHL Forum when he sees that Ward quote.
