I’m definitely not a fan of Huberdeau. In fairness to Tre, who could have predicted this type of regression? Most people on this board, myself included, thought this was a terrific acquisition. It’s baffling how this has unraveled but I anticipate most people were excited about having the “leagues best passer.” The contract extension was definitely a knee jerk reaction from wanting to salvage the Johnny and Tkachuk situation.
Our GM has many faults but I can’t really blame him for Huberdeau’s poor play. That’s on the player. Maybe coaching plays into it but I’ve grown tired of making excuses for him. At some point he needs to prove his worth and step up. Not happy being a Flame? Too bad. Don’t like the coach? Oh well. You’re getting paid to be the teams richest player of all time. Start taking that seriously like Jarome did. Have some pride and elevate your game.
