Huska seems to be adjusting the playstyle in 3on3. Maybe study the tapes that made Hartley's tenure so effective (wasn't just about the players, though that helped quite a lot too - though perhaps these are useless as teams have evolved since 3 on 3 was instituted). I liked what the Flames were trying to do, and I hope that they continue to do so.
One gripe of mine is Zary's usage. I wish that he was the 4th line C instead of a 4th line winger for however long he is readjusting. He is probably the Flames most dynamic player, and I think that's what is really missing in OT as well - more dyanmic players. I like Pospisil out there too as he is a very underrated passer, and he is the fastest skater and can knock guys off pucks too.
I would say that Huska seems to be trying new things and that I hope the Flames continue with it regardless of who is on the ice. The biggest improvements will come when more talented and dynamic players graduate.
