I think the Jack Adams customarily goes to the coach of the worst team to make the playoffs in a given year. Traditionally followed the next season by underperforming with a team that now has playoff expectations, and getting fired.
So yes, honestly, I think it’s entirely plausible this team sneaks into the playoffs, and if they do, then Huska deserves the award by that criteria.
Would be nice if we could be a little more even-keeled and not necessarily fire him after next year, but who am I to stand in the way of NHL tradition?
