The blame Huberdeau and Kadri for everything is getting over the top ridiculous.
First you get a group who needs to jump in and blame him and Kadri for Sutter getting fired when thats 100% not sure and been confirmed, yet they trot that out every single game thread.
Now hes holding everyone back?
He sucks right now no doubt about it, but you can clearly see a guy is cares and is trying but his confidence is gone he has none zero.
Its not a snap of the finger and its back type of thing, it is going to take time. Yeah it sucks to watch but what are you going to do? Johnny Gaudreau was equally as frustrating, Matthew Tkachuk was equally as frustrating, people called Iginla Invisginla.
Star players go through ruts like this, doesn't make him a bum like some make him out to be.

I am not in the game threads so I can’t comment on everyone blaming them for everything. We can see how quickly the winds can change with some inspired play and we have seen that from Kadri over the past few games. Huberdeau makes $3.5M more than Kadri who is the second highest paid member of the team. He is paid to be the offensive catalyst of this team and he is anything but that.
I don’t think Gaudreau or Tkachuk ever reached this level of frustration with the fans. Both had substandard seasons but both always were over 0.5ppg where Huberdeau is hovering. A lot of blame went to Sutter for Huby’s play from the fans to the media and he is showing that is not the case. I have no doubt the guy cares and I commend the way he has carried himself despite all the scrutiny but he has quickly become the worst contract in the entire league and no doubt will frustrate the fanbase. As the $84M man he is going to have a much higher standard that fans expect.
