Perhaps a bit facetious, but the point still remains. I like Huska, I just don't know that he's the right coach for creativity and skill.
Edit: I hope I'm wrong though, because I do really like Huska - and the players seem to really like him too.

Parekh will be fine. Great players play well regardless of the system their in.
I think the way the Flames play right now is more indicative of the personnel and lack of skill we have, as opposed to that being Huska's innate system. If we had multiple super stars on our team capable of breaking games open single handedly, Huska would adjust to that as need.
Sutter, known for having teams who were boring and defense first got career offensive high in the 21/22 season from Gaudreau, Tkachuk, Lindholm, Mangiapane, Andersson and Hanifin. Berube in a similar vain in Toronto this year is getting great production out their extremely talented forwards as well.
Don't think Huska will be the limiting factor for Parekh.
