Also, seems like Sutter has gone about doing his business after being fired and stayed quiet. Huberdeau has taken some shots (in the French media) and still seems to harbor some resentment. Switch your focus and get ready for next season.

The locker room seems disjointed and something isn't right and I think that extends beyond the Sutter effect. Who knows what the issues are but Conroy has a tough job ahead of him. Hopefully he knows the culprits and can remove some of the toxicity and focus on gaining respectability again.
I don't think Huberdeau ever really showed a lack of maturity/respect - but even if he did - I think it's reasonable to expect more maturity from the guy in his mid 60s whose job description is to make the team function than the guy in his late 20s his job description is to perform on the ice.
