(I know he has the record for most assists in a season by a LW, but even that season he played on the second line... which... *does some math*... is one of the two lines that make up the middle six.)

Calling him a career middle 6 guy is laughable.
He had the third most points in the NHL in the three seasons prior to becoming a Flame. He was an elite point producer and top line talent.
Now some combination of age curve, system, confidence, pressure, and effort has caused him to suck as a Flame but no need to make up #### that just wasn't true prior to him being a Flame.

We just need the lockout to happen shortly. So we can get the ol compliance buyout. I’ll give up a season to get rid of him.

How was my post positive? Huberdeau has been #### as a Flames, there is no way to sugar coat it.
But honeslty ragging on the same guy after ever single loss is stupid, he's not why they lost that game tonight.
Andersson was on the ice for 5 goals against, Hanifin wasn't much better. Whenever Tanev is hurt those two seem to forget how to play defense and another example tonight.
