What is Hubys issue? He doesn't like the vibe? He doesn't like his minutes? He doesn't like who he's playing with? He doesn't like the system? He's not playing in overtime? He's not playing in key moments of the game?
This comes across to me as a player who is looking for someone else to blame and is getting Walsh to carry his water. It is Frolik 2.0, but not in a good way.
Everyone who watches the player can see how bad he's been regardless of who his linemates are. He generates very little, isn't a high-end two-way forward, and isn't making his teammates better. I dont see a guy that's really contributing much at all and is under producing most of the other top-9 forwards most nights.

A fringe NHLer can't get 0.5 PPG in 13 minutes a night with zero PP time. Peters was playing mind games, that's why Walsh talked about it.
I have no idea what's wrong with Huberdeau, but the Walsh tweet seems to suggest that there's some sort of disconnect with the coach.
