So we'd either be trading him at the deadline, or losing him for nothing...and the Flames weren't rebuilding after Florida put their offer on the table. Maybe they should have, but they weren't...so, this it.

I still think Huberdeau is an elite player. He's just here...on this team, with this structure and it's not working. That's a Flames problem.
He is a good player and will probably be an even better player when he becomes even more comfortable with the team but its the fact of just how much he will be making and his contribution to the team is not worth that much. For that much money he should be able to carry his own line. In Florida though he must have been the one carrying Bennett and Duclair. We will see. He is signed for 8 more years so there will be plenty of time to reavaluate him.
