Even if it's not working I would swap out Lindholm / Kadri before I'd front load the top line. Those two duos put the Flames in attack mode for 40+ minutes per game. As a team it just makes the Flames hell to match up against, and gives either pair the opportunity to have an off night without throwing the game.

It's time to stop punishing Huberdeau and let him gel with a top 6 offensive centre. The team will not succeed unless Huberdeau is playing with either of Kadri or Lindholm, plus likely another goal scoring winger Huberdeau has chemistry with. Banishing Huberdeau to the bottom six does nothing to deal with the team's long term issues.
