But for the love of God, keep Gridin and Parekh away from him. This isn't the coach you want developing our skilled prospects. No need to crush their confidence any more.

First question: what makes you think their confidence is "crushed"? Haven't seen or heard anything that suggests that is true.
Second question: so...they play badly and you think it's fine to ... what...just let them continue to play badly, be really, really nice to them, pat them on the back and that will encourage them to play better? Players want playing time...and if they want that, they need to play the "right way" (whether you like that way or not). When they don't they don't get ice. When they do...they do.
Last time I looked these guys are the future of the team (supposedly)...so if one wants them to play in a particular manner, it doesn't matter if the vets don't do that...they aren't the future. And the vets have earned their ice in the past by playing the right way.
Coronato (I think it was) got booted back to the Wranglers after he first came up because he couldn't do what he needed to. He worked like snot and...guess what? He got back up to the big club. Why should Parekh and Gridin (or anyone else) get a free pass?
It's pretty obvious you hate Huska as much as you want Conny to dump all the vets...and you comment on it just about as much...but instead of complaining, how about explaining precisely how you think they should be handled when they screw up?
(Besides Kuzy and Brz are getting plenty of ice time....)
