Could the Flames put Huberdeau on waivers? He’d clear, and then maybe he could build his confidence back in the AHL and when he came back to the Flames in a few months or next season he’d be able to play a role where he isn’t leading the team for the green jacket (biggest minus +\-). I understand it would be humiliating for him and hard to stomach for the organization to pay $10M/season to an AHL’er, but if it took all the pressure off him, coaches, linemates, etc maybe it could pay off in the final 6 or 7 years of the contract. As a fan I just want the Flames to be as good as possible and as a human I’d like Huberdeau to live a happy fulfilled life (which as long as he is failing badly to earn his contract it would be hard to reconcile).
