I get it though, no matter what the treams record is some people will defend the coach until the end. If we draft McKenna next year and he scores 20 points in his rookie year it will be because he has nobody to play with, not because the system allows zero offensive creativity at all. I have shown the numbers of our forward group in their past seasons and that is just ignored. It's totally normal for forwards to get here and regress by 20-30 points from what they normally get I guess.

So where would you slot the players.
I'm not jumping through hoops, I don't say Huska is a great coach, or the team's beset coach ever.
I just don't see much talent.

Others in time for sure, but now?
