It’s not coddling at all - he led by example all season. He did what the coach asked. He tried to play the role Darryl assigned him.
You only need to watch any of the dozen or more plays in the first month of the season where Huberdeau giftwraps an empty net and 20 feet of space to a teammate only for them to flub it to see what it looks like when one guy is playing 3D chess and everyone else is playing Hungry Hungry Hippos.
