He's not a 24 year-old that you build around for the future. He's a 29 year-old that you need to deliver now and expect diminishing returns from as time goes on.

The one thing I get from Huberdeau is he cares.
Almost instantly after the trade he was sporting Flames jerseys at golf tournaments.
That's a guy that isn't thinking about himself or his style under Sutter; he's just freaking out because it isn't working out and putting more pressure on himself.
I think it's harder to be that guy than the guy that thinks his crap doesn't stink after a trade and comes in cocky.
I expect it to correct and he'll start creating more when he has a everything goes in night.
