Not a trap.
The Flames problem is that, when they gain possession of the puck, they are not good at creating plays and getting the puck to the middle of the ice. That is not Huska's fault.

In fact, Huska has been beating a faster transition drum since he took over. But they haven't executed well. Partly because their D wasn't exceptional at passing, partly because their Fs are not good at receiving passes on the fly and partly because generally, they are a slow team. This is all starting to change hopefully. Parekh is a good passer and Kuz and Brzu seem to be pretty good as well. Hopefully team speed will start to increase (it's one reason why I hate to see some of the draft reviews talk about players with poor skating but who make up for it with good hands).
