Considering where this organization has been over the past decade it's quite telling that despite having the entirety of the hockey world to hire from for both the GM and HC position they elected to hire those they are most familiar with for both positions. That's where my concern stems from. It's hard not to conclude that these were relationship based hires first and foremost - and that is coming from someone who is a big fan of Conroy and his "vision".
You can't convince me that the most qualified people for both of these positions were right under our noses for the past five years.
I truly hope it works out for Huska but color me skeptical - I am not convinced he has shown the ability to lead an offensively charged and creative system. We will see.
