I'm pretty fine with them so far. They have been solid if unspectacular.

None of the other dmen are blowing the doors off with their much better zone starts.
According to moneypuck, Huska has the two top pairings pretty much even in defensive zone starts and offensive zone starts (Weegar #1 on the team for offensive zone starts and it's not all that close), with the third pairing mostly coming off the bench on the fly.

Can't find quality of opposition on the net anymore but assuming that's equal too then Andersson/Bahl are doing a much better job with similar deployment.
