Like this?

I don't love everything about Huska's system, but I think that he helped a lot of players succeed:
Markstrom looked like a top 10 goalie.
Sharangovich became a 30 goal scorer and broke the records for Belarusian players.
Coleman found his offense and scored 30
Weegar got 20G from the back end while being a very good 2 way D
Kadri looked like a #1B Center, scoring at a PPG pace after the first 10 games
Kuzmenko found his offense again in CGY, scoring at a 40G pace
Hanifin had a career year both offensively and defensively, solidifying himself as a top D in the league.
Zary, and Pospisil provided more offense and pace than anyone imagined at the start of the year.
Waiver claims Greer, Pachal, and Hanley all looked like found gems under Huska.
Huberdeau showed a lot of flashes of his old self, the 3rd period benching was a good move by Huska
Rooney and Hunt looked like effective 4th liners
