I think your displeasure with the coach has been obvious from day one.
I would argue that this is a wild card team if it remained intact. Did the media consider the Great Sell Off when they were making the wild card projection? I’m wagering no.
Edit: I would also add here that Huska’s number one center entering the season decided to cash it in. That’s clearly not Huska’s fault because now a ‘good’ coach is having equal problems getting production out of Lindholm.
