Not sure what would be deemed "Short time" but Huselius came in and was a game changer for the flames. He was a primary reason for Iginla hitting 50 goals in one of those seasons, a major contributor to the powerplay that saw phaneuf be a 60-60 point dman, and a major reason that Langkow got the goal/point totals he did and ironically the contract that led to the flames having to walk away from Huselius to make the cap figures work.
he was a soft, one dimensional player, but he was a gamebreaker in that one dimension when he had confidence (which he did in spades during the 2006 &2007 seasons). He made Tanguay (ugh) totally expendable, and i loved when news came out that iggy had suggested that huselius be moved to his line to the coaches, which i always felt began tanguay's demise.
