See, I don’t see Huberdeau’s game being neutered by the coach. I see him having a hard time adapting to playing sound defensive hockey as well as being a major threat offensively. I think he’s having a hard time putting them both together.
So many pundits and fans thought Gaudreau wouldn’t mesh with Sutter because he wouldn’t be a “ Sutter player”. That turned out to be complete garbage.
The two biggest problems with the Flames this year were goaltending, and the lack of a true top line. That’s really it in a nutshell. Secondary scoring was fine. If they get goaltending and a top line they’re tops in the division, or very close again.

However, I will say I don’t think Sutter is exempt from all blame in regards to Huberdeau. He definitely could’ve put him in some better spots to succeed and build his confidence. Especially on the pp.
