The list of talent that has regressed or stagnated under Huska is much larger than the list that has improved.

He's not escaping criticism for this year - however, I don't think much is warranted. This team has possibly the least talent on it's roster in the entire league. We don't have a single game breaker - not even close. And yet, to my eyes the team competes hard and are doing the best with what they have. I honestly don't understand the complaints about him, he's not perfect - but our roster is god awful, and the fact that most of the games are at least competitive says a lot about his ability as a coach. Despite the fact that we're at the bottom of a rebuild and the team seems to be trying hard, the group seems to have a great culture for a losing team... what more can you ask for?
