What lens are you looking through that makes you believe they’re better than this? They have a $10.5M player on pace for like 40 points or whatever. The goalies are all sub-.900
This is a bad roster.

Well almost every expert projected this roster to be a WC team or a challenger to it, if you look at last year if they had any semblance of goaltending or the ability to win in OT they would have made the playoffs. Despite losing Toffoli I think the roster is actually deeper and better than last year and yet they have no structure, no system that I can remotely tell, it's like they are coached to turn pucks over and not defend. You can argue the roster is not very good and that's fine but people need to stop defending this garbage coach, he is terrible, the worst thing we have seen since Gilbert. Now given the fact this team needs to strip it down and build toward the future I am perfectly fine with Huska staying as coach for now, they wouldn't have a better guy back there to sewer this team.
