If anything, he's embracing it.
2) Huberdeau's a pro. He's experienced in this league, he's mature, and he understands the business side of the game, even if he hadn't been traded before. Compared to Johnny and even someone like Tkachuk (who is younger but says all the right things and is obviously comfortable with the media), his maturity is evident.
