Ninety something games in a Flames uniform with barely a flash of brilliance displayed at any point. Can anyone remember more than a couple of standout moments from Huberdeau? Even a couple might be charitable. I can maybe think of one exciting rush from last pre season, that's about it.

The systems talk is a massive copout. If he's really that magical of a player I would assume he'd have the intellect to adapt to a slightly different way of playing the same game using a stick and a puck. Other stars were putting up 100 pt seasons with this organization a couple years ago. He looks less effective on the ice than any of the bottom line players and any of the recent call ups.

A full organization of professional hockey people is not the reason he isn't producing. At some point the responsibility lies with him.
