I'd argue that the only u27 roster player that has improved since last season is Kevin Bahl. That's where the list begins and ends.

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?

We rank;
32nd in GF
30th in points
30th in goal differential
I think many of you are overstating how "competitive" we have been this year. We have an entire roster chalked full of underperforming talent and the stats and individual regressions bare that out. This by and large is the same roster that had 96 points just last season, so yes, Huska absolutely deserves criticism for the teams immense drop off in my opinion.
Most fan's want to see this team bottom out which is fine and it looks necessary, but I am not going to pretend this coach has really ever shown anything to suggest he's capable of winning or developing offense at this level. He's a fine enough placeholder but not the guy I expect to turn the ship around when needed.
