To top it off the style of play stifles his ability to create, so here we have a Huberdeau with no confidence.
Let's cut him a bit of slack. Conroy"s suggestion that changing the
style of play and generating more creative opportunities on offense plus having fun will help the guys step up going forward.

I see this argument alot.
My question to you, and others in defense of Huberdeau is how long should we cut Huberdeau some slack for?
My answer is 87 games.
