Also, I don’t know if comparing him to Columbus Gaudreau makes much sense, Gaudreau is leading his team in points by a mile and is getting no help. Huberdeau is 4th on his team and has a much deeper roster/talent pool to play with. It would actually make more sense to compare Gaudeau’s numbers last season when he was Flame playing under the same coach, same systems, with most of the same team.
Lastly, I‘ve seen a lot of posters blaming his linemates this season. But guys like Toffoli and Lindholm have produced just fine this season and actually looked worse with Huberdeau. He’s basically played with everyone. At some point, shouldn’t we be asking if Huberdeau could be the problem? Afterall, his minutes are way down and he’s been benched a few times because the coach can’t trust him in some situations. I can’t say I blame Darryl either because like I said, I’m seeing a lot of the warts in his game.

Well Huberdeau is playing with Lucic so IDK
Gaudreau won't be half off his points but he will go from +64 or something to -30
Flames are at least above water with Huberdeau on the ice. Huberdeau needs to be much better but he isn't really being put in the best situation here.
