Yeah it's kind of weird or maybe Flames fans simply don't understand or come to grips that the team's current standing is more a reflection of the talent level on the roster than it is the coaching. I'm not saying that Huska is a really good coach and pressing all the right buttons but I've seen enough bad NHL coaches that he's nowhere near a bad coach. To me he looks like an average NHL head coach at the end of the day and given the current trajectory of the team it's pretty ideal as he's not letting them play pond hockey and trying to keep the team on the same page, playing a team game. I personally don't think he's holding anyone back and poor play is more a reflection of talent which simply isn't good enough. Also I'm not sure if a lot of the Flames current young prospects are good enough as I think we (myself included) have overrated some of these young players. I think Parekh will become an NHL player (could end up a PP specialist) and Coronato will have a career but I'm not seeing a lot on the Wranglers to get excited about outside of Gridin. This organization badly needs that top 3 pick. Badly!
