Are there changes that could be made? Of course, are they likely to make significant improvements given the players we have, hard to imagine that.

I think Huska has been fine with the team defensively, not great but fine. The likelihood with this team is that you bring in a coach to pump up the offense you start to see more goals given up. They don't have the skill to create goals without cheating and don't have the defenseman that can cover if put into bad spots.

This coaching isn't great, Savard has done nothing to indicate he should be a coach at the NHL level but it ultimately still comes down to this team not being close to good enough playerwise. That is the main problem with the team and Bowman, Cooper, Arbour, Badger Bob etc. aren't fixing that.
Is it not possible that other players may play better in a different system? It's not all one or the other. Sure, if we had the best players in the league they would likely work in any system, but we don't, and so the system used needs to be what gets the most out of the key players. I don't see that with Huska.
