Everyone else has had great advice so far but I'll add a few things. Make sure the owner will give you money back if the puppy is found to be unhealthy at it's first vet visit with you. And then take the puppy to the vet first thing. This probably won't be an issue but you want to make sure just in case.
Also ask what training if any they have done with the puppies thus far, specifically potty training. My family used to breed dogs and we always started training them before they went home with people. You will also want to ask about their diet because the last thing a puppy needs is an abrupt change in scenery and diet. We would keep our puppies until 12 weeks, 8 weeks is bit young in my opinion.
Once you get the puppy home, start training it immediately. They learn faster when they're young just like babies. The first night will be hard for it but after that it gets easier.
Also, make sure you have a high fence or ALWAYS keep this dog on a leash. Huskies like to run and they will make friends with the first person they meet when they stop. Huskies are not known for coming back home.
Let me know if you have any questions. As I said, I grew up breeding dogs and I've rescued quite a few as well. Have fun!
