Flames always have this obsession with trying to make players who suck at D play a better defensive game . Lean into your players strengths . We have plenty of guys who can play defensive hockey in the forwards ranks

Seriously.
If Huberdeau is excelling at offence, give him 70% O-Zone starts. Let him do his thing and have the multiple Selke vote receiving players on the team play the defensive role. Play players to their strengths instead of trying to put square pegs into round holes. The Flames have two of the top defensive centers in the league on the team. For whatever baffling reason, we also need Huberdeau to be a defensive forward?
We do not need a happy medium. We need players to consistently put up points.
