I look at PPG more than # of (insert cutoff) point seasons. No one played full years over the two affected covid years, so Huberdeau specifically can't be docked for that. That's nonsense.
He was around 1.2 for those seasons. That's the production you want and would put him top 20 for league scoring even with the uptick in production league wide.

The debate was about how many points he would score, not point per game. So to suggest that stating his point totals from prior seasons is misleading is kind of over the top IMO but I agree that PPG is relevant to a discussion about production for sure.
But you are inflating things with 1.2 PPG. He has only produced at that pace in his one career season.
Gaudreau is a good comparable since their age is similar. If you cherry pick their production over last 4 seasons, it is nearly identical. If you go much shorter, or any longer, Gaudreau has out produced him.
