Five NHL teams called to ask for permission to talk to Huska this off-season, including the Capitals for an assistant job to Barry Trotz.
Huska chose an AHL job with the Flames organization over a possible NHL job elsewhere because he felt comfortable with new management's plan, direction and philosophy.
Its amazing what happens when you hire respected, competent hockey people like Brian Burke. He brings in another respected competent guy in Treliving who then is able to attract top candidates to fill other positions.
Truly a surreal time to be a Flames fan. It's unfortunate it's taken Murray Edwards and Ken King this long to get it right but once you get the right management in place in hockey ops the other pieces fall into place.
