The guy needs confidence and needs to know he's appreciated; struggles be damned! Yes, we'd like to see more, but maybe this is a place fans CAN actually make a difference...and wouldn't that be a fantastic result?
Personally, I feel really bad for the guy - he's in the centre of a maelstrom that is not of his own making, and yes, he signed the big contract, and yes, he could "retire"...although it's unlikely. So we are stuck with him and he with us (unless that mythical Johnny-for-Jonathan trade somehow materializes).
Nothing to lose by cheering the guy on - same as we'd do for our children playing when we know that he/she is nowhere near the best on the team.

Not of his own making?
He’s playing at a level with suggests he’s one of the worse players in the league, yet somehow he’s not accountable for any of it?
Are you suggesting someone in Edmonton is sticking needles in a Huberdeau puppet?
