And how privy are
we actually to what Huska has or hasn't done off-ice with all the first year pros he's gotten - Agostino, Hathaway, Arnold, Van Brabant, and Morrison (
and Kulak, Culkin, Kylington, Smith, Caroll, Klimchuk, Sieloff, Poirier, Lomberg for guys not out of college, and Elson/Ramage too for guys who finally broke out as AHLers)?
I just think it's a poor argument to make when we've got two guys who were in college two seasons ago, the AHL last season, and are in the NHL right now. And Hathaway has spoken pretty glowingly about Huska for that matter. Just because Ward did a praise-worthy job in some aspects, doesn't create an argument against Huska. The two are unrelated. And maybe Huska just gives a vague/bad interview.
