Huberdeau is not being "punished." He is sorting out his game on a new team with one of the best centres, who has a long history of bringing the best out of his linemates. The Flames don't really have a "bottom six" right now; they have a fourth line, and three scoring/checking lines that are pretty interchangeable. It probably won't stay like this all year, but for now—with how everyone is playing—I think the slotting is fine.
