Give him time because he needs to adjust? How much time does a so called best player need? He has been terrible and it is not acceptable any more. It's been 24 games and he should have been at the top of his game about a dozen games ago. Sure he has 7 points in his last 7 games but hasn't exactly been the Flames top player doing that.
After getting 115 points last year he deserves a lot of criticism for his play this year. He's well bellow a PPG right now and I'd be very surprised if he reaches 75 points.
Is he waiting for his next contract to kick in before he actually tries to be the best player? The Flames would be in a better position if their supposed best player showed up.
I've lost my patience with him. Maybe you can tell.

I'm 100% in the same place.
He really sucks. It's not even offensively, he is so weak on the boards defensively. Makes at least a few brutal d zone turnovers every game, just lucky they don't end up at the back of the net.
Huberdeau isn't even in the stratosphere as actual stars like gaudreau and tkachuck. I think some panic is absolutely warranted. Don't think he can cut it in a Canadian market, hard coach, defensive responsible team. He is not a elite star whatsoever.
