They should put Huska and his team in the role for the rest of the year. It would be a fresh face that might allow you to salvage the season, but there probably wouldn't be a requirement to keep the guy beyond next year like there would be with a Tippett or Sutter.
Act now, and then evaluate in the summer when there are more options.

And who takes over development of your young guys?
That might be as important as the hire in Calgary.
Doubling down on removing current coaches could be disastrous unless you have a current Asst. coach in Stockton whom you trust to stay the course and has the players down their believing in him as well. Maybe Pittis is that guy...but they best be sure if they go down that road.
