Maybe they could have won a few more games and be 5-7-2, battling with the Canucks for 2nd last in the conference but this roster is really bad and the current record is kind of what most would expect from possibly the least talented roster in the NHL.
Huska was never my pick as head coach as I was on the Mitch Love bandwagon but I have a hard time overly critiquing what he's done with a roster full of no-name players and vets near the end of their career. Just months ago he received Jack Adams votes last season for getting the team to overachieve so it's strange to see pitchforks come out a month into the season like this.

Unless you saw last season as more a result of goaltending than Huska's magic touch (lol).
Considering the track records of jack adams winners getting fired shortly thereafter, its not the accolade people hype it up to be.
We're seeing a huska coached team with average goaltending now and its uuugly. It literally has no strengths.
That people line up to defend him and put it all on roster quality is basically balling him out no matter whar asinine in game decisions he makes.
The truth might be somewhere in fhe middle, but going all the way to absolving him of all blame for the on ice product is its own type of delusional.
At least we'll benefit from it, but im not going to pretend this guy is good or proven solely because of last seaaon.
The apologists are equally as perplexing.
