As far as his record in the AHL, his main goal was player development. The Flames' top picks made the jump to the NHL right away, so Huska didn't have that much to work with.

Here are his top scorers
2014-15: K. Agostino, E. Poirier, M. Reinhart, D. Wolf

Made NHL: Hathaway, Baertschi, Granlund Ferland, Kulak, Jooris*

2015-16: K. Agostino, D. Grant, F. Hamilton, D. Shore

Made NHL: Grant, Hathaway, Kulak, Kylington, Granlund*, Jankowski*, Lomberg*

2016-17: Jankowski, Vey, Klimchuk, Mangiapane

Made NHL: Jankowski, Mangiapane, Lomberg, Kylington, Andersson, Hathaway, Kulak, Rittich, Phillips*

2017-18: Mangiapane, Klimchuk, Foo, Andersson

Made NHL: Mangiapane , Andersson, Kylington, Lomberg, Hathaway*, Jankowski*, Dube*, Rittich

* Less than 20 AHL games that season

I would argue that a lot of those teams were pretty mediocre, and lacked impact forwards. Overall Huska didn't do too bad of a job at the task the organization set for him which was developing prospects.

What? Multiple forward prospects that had decent upside petered out into nothing under his watch. It isn't those teams lacked impact forwards, it's that they failed to develop under his coaching.
