The real problem is that Huska has a responsibility to the rest of the roster. Huberdeau might make $10M+, but the other guys cover $70M+. So he can't just make this the Huberdeau renovation show, he'd alienate the rest of the roster who's playing better, that's not a good message to send to the rest of the team.

I also think the idea is just a fallacy to begin with. Huberdeau gets his 20+ shifts a night, if he's only good for a handful of those 20+ shifts a night, how does adding an additional 5 shifts really help his situation?
