Yea, that is a really weird definition of top six but Huberdeau would still fit it for most of his time in Florida. According to your definition most teams do not have six top six forwards though.
Top 6 forwards are players that belong on the the top two lines. Middle six is generally for guys that bounce between the second and third lines. Dube is a middle six forward.
