Huberdeau came to a new team and put massive pressure on himself, then clearly didn't mesh with a coach who put him on his off-wing and had him play a game that didn't suit him. That doesn't absolve Huberdeau, but that also doesn't mean he can't rebound.
I fully expect him to make a lot of people eat crow next season. And I'll be rooting hard for that because it's good news for the Calgary Flames.

Great example, one guy, how about every other player that dropped off and didn't rebound? Yes it can happen and we all hope it does, but it's a very long shot this contract ever looks good.
