I said after Sutter was gone they needed a year coach that could be more creative offensively to fit this roster, like Andrew Brunette. Instead they hire a guy that when he was the head coach for them in the AHL just stifled the development of all the young forwards. That is exactly why when we were doing the head coach search I kept saying anybody but Huska. He is great at talking a great game but he can't coach one. I do wanted him to prove me wrong and maybe he still can, lots of time but man, trying to compete this year and they hire Ryan Fn Huska, just mind boggling.

Did he stifle Mangiapane, Hathaway, Dube, Lomberg, Jooris, Phillips? Did he stifle the D in Andersson, Kylington, or Kulak?
