To jog y'all's memories:
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting the same results. Unless Huska changes up the system and/or Conroy proactively finds/trades for players that could jive with Huberdeau, he will continue to flounder and be an awful contract.
If the options are to have an untradable player with an albatross of a contract or try to setup a former top3 winger in the league up for success by making changes that accommodate his style...the course of action seems to be as a clear as day.

I've seen this video half a dozen times or so at this point and I'm gonna be honest, Huberdeau really doesn't look that impressive in it. Better than what we see today, for sure, but it seems like half his points come from broken plays that the Panthers quickly capitalize on and Huberdeau happens to find his way on the score sheet.
I know that's a simplification of what's really going on. I think it's a combination of natural decline and that he just wasn't that good to begin with.
