And yeah IMO this season was lost on:
goaltending
not enough players who can finish, or willing to do what is needed to finish
some players who quit on the team
I'll bet Huska helps with the third and to some extent the second.
Or maybe some of the quitters get moved but that won't be easy.

Carolina for sure.
Vegas is a bit different as I don't think they focus on volume as much as motion and creating side to side plays.
They also play fast and get the puck up ice with one touch or skate it up.
Carolina seemed to play slow and go to d to d with controlled entries.
One comment of Huska that stood out in a odd way we when he discussed coaches. Said Ward wanted to go things different offensively and how he thought the game was innovative and ahead of its time and a lot of teams are doing that now.
If I recall that time the team looked slow at doing everything and the attack was just terrible. Wonder if he was unable to implement what he wanted.
