Realistically it was always going to be Love or Huska while the team eats $8M in dead money owed to Sutter. They were going to have to go bargain bin hunting and in that scenario promoting from within makes the most sense.
Count me as someone who was intrigued by having the back to back AHL coach of the year come in and take over. I know some credit Wolf for Love’s success vs Huska but Huska coached some good prospects in his day like Rasmus and Mangi.
While I am not a huge fan of the assistant to head coach promotion the organization has been grooming Huska for this role for a while and he has been close to landing other HC jobs in the past. Pretty meh hire but hopefully we can get excited about some of the staff he is adding to his group
