Not enthusiastic nor disappointed about the hire. It is a meh hire. Doesn’t move the needle in my opinion. The only thing that I can take away as a positive here is Huska can work effectively with young players and has a history of giving them a chance. Of course that was in lower developmental leagues where young players are the lifeblood to the team, so we’ll see if that continues or if Sutter has rubbed off on him. To be frank, the only people this hire will mean anything to, and have the biggest impact, is the players. Is the hiring of Huska going to provide the confidence to Lindholm and the host of soon to be UFAs to hang around and sign another contract or does this signing reinforce their desire to move on. That’s all that matters IMO. The rest is noise at this point.
