He just isn't the prototypical Flames type player that is great defensively. Huska has developed players before, but never a defenseman with this kind of offensive skill. It will be interesting to see what happens.
I dunno,

Tyson Barrie
Jamie Benn
Tyler Myers
Rasmus Andersson
TJ Brodie

Etc etc. All offensive players, all developed by or at least in part by Huska. None known as particularly staunch defensive players but high scoring Juniors and AHL players.
