No one (or barely anyone) thought it was the wrong move either. I was excited about the signing. I don't think anyone could have predicted this lack of performance. Maybe one of the sharpest declines of a star player I've ever witnessed. 115pt player to pretty much a complete non factor.
I also think the fans and media have been incredibly patient, I'm surprised its taken this long for the Huberdeau criticism to get its own thread. Much deserved though, right now its a massive issue for the team. It's almost incomprehensible how bad its going for him.
