I didn't say Love was the best person for the job if you consider all possible candidates. And being better han Huska isn't a crazy stretch.
To me Huska has shown nothing, I didn't want him as coach, although if we finally go the rebuild route he is a fine option to eat losses while we suck until we bring in a new coach as the players at least seem to like playing for him.

I just think there is nothing between them that would indicate one is better suited than the other. Love's AHL record looks to be largely based on the talent he had more than him being a great coach. Huska has the longer term success although at a lower level that doesn't necessarily translate to NHL success.

I am just pointing out I don't see anything in Love's past to show me that he is better (or worse really) than Huska. Neither seem like guys that should be considered for NHL jobs and likely only were considered for the Flames because they were with the organization. I think if both were with the Jets organization with the same resumes they wouldn't have got a minute of thought for the Calgary job.
