I completely agree with everything Drury is saying, but if the Flames truly are grooming Huska for a future in the NHL, making him an assistant to an experienced AHL head coach would be the prudent move.

I too saw him leaning on his goaltenders, not correcting the PK or PP during dry spells and blaming it on the "ebbs and flows," publicly saying so-and-so needs to step up (he did this with Wolf a couple of times, and he's a rookie so how much can you expect from him?), plus he just doesn't seem to have that personality to demand the most out of his players.

My point on his personality doesn't have the greatest evidence - just an assumption based on observation and deduction.

Again, I'm willing to give Huska the benefit of the doubt being that he was green, but I'd still like to see him shadow areal, experienced AHL coach.
