Cam Ward is garbage. He is getting re-signed again and again because of what he once did for his organization but in fact he is barely backup material at this stage of his career.
Pretty positive he's got a kid with some type of health condition & whatever the university hospital in that area is it's considered one of the best in treating it. I think that's played apart in things there.
I'd imagine if it comes down to it the probably just buyout Lack & roll with Darling/Ward as their goalies next year.
I remember in the signing thread saying that if he was the starter, it was a bad move. They said that his 2nd half was good to which I countered with:
Ward being good in the 2nd half is a myth.
Jan .925 SV% played 5 games
Feb .914 SV% played 10 games
Mar .914 SV% played 8 games
Apr .925 SV% played 2 games
He had a good Jan and April....7 games total. The other months, he was well below average. And the Oct-Dec stats are much worse.
Glad they kept him. He makes them worse.
He has not finished in the top 34 in SV% in any of the last 4 years. NONE
When you are counting on your starter getting it done when he has not been in the top 34 in SV% in the last 4 years, you are in trouble.
We won't be touching Ward.
To be fair, .914 is pretty close to average, not well below.
Either way, not interested.
