That said, I liked his GAF meter on the ice even when he was struggling. He looked like he was trying to at least be physical, do something, and contribute somehow despite losing his swagger. His relationship with Pelts, and the other young guys was also a bright spot. I really hope he gets that swagger back, and he is at least a PPG player next season.

I agree with you except that WRT the bolded, it's just not very easy for a guy who has limited education and is still in his 20s to take charge like that. Agents wield an inordinate amount of influence and I'd take Huberdeau at his word that he was unaware of what he was doing - what he doesn't say is the agent then likely convinced him it was all good.
