I don't have much of a view on Huska yet, but, having an absolutely god-awful start to the season was absolutely critical. So if he's a bad coach - i don't mind it. Winning isn't the goal right now.

I agree in principle, tanking and bottoming out is absolutely what this franchise needed. That said, I think Conroy had asbolutely no intention for his team to be sitting in 30th place and facing a tear down. You don't throw those contracts at Hanifin and Lindholm if that's the case.
Winning might not be the goal, but if your GM is a dud then you're also losing a lot of value in your trades, and that comes back to haunt you later. We know this because it's exactly what happened under Feaster.
Again, wait and see, but there's some reason to be concerned here that we may not have the right guy to get us out of this.
