CCFan I think you're right to flag an organizational shortcoming re. the development of Ovie. I think that's part of what prompted Hunter to get out fast - the organization wasn't committed to doing what was necessary to mold him into a complete hockey player, because it's skittish about pissing him off. It's entirely fair to ask what would have happened to him in the Red Wings organization, since they are so adept at getting guys to be complete players and really preach playing as, and thinking like, a 5 man unit.
By contrast, the marketeer in Ted may be more committed to selling marketable superstars more than he is to building a successful hockey team.
