Defending Huberbeau at this point is comical. No one in league history has had a drop off in points as large as him, no one in LEAGUE HISTORY. and hes picking up right where he left off from last year. If you dont think he has been directly responsible in games that led us to ultimately lose then you arent paying close attention here.
How many of his constant giveaways have ended up in our net? He went through a stretch last month where he had 3 shots on goal in 5 games thats it. The only time he shows up on the state line there is a minus attached to his name.
The time to make excuses for this guy has long sailed. When you make the money this guy makes especially in a CDN market you better back it up. The way this is going not only is he going to be the worst contract in the league but it could end up one of the worst contracts in league history.

Your mistake is thinking I’m “defending” Huberdeau. I’m not. I’m saying that just whining and complaining is pointless and not the topic of this thread, which is about what the Flames could do to get him going. So just saying “be better” or noting his salary is quite irrelevant to me.
You are saying what you expect of a guy with his salary. Fine. he’s not meeting that expectation. So what do you - as coach, or GM or sports psychologist, do about it?
