I don't get this line of thinking and why people seem to have a personal vendetta against Huberdeau so much.
He's sucked as a Flame but you're not going to shame him into leaving $70M dollars on the table. And just benching him forever is not in the team or players best interest.
It's in the team and players best interest to work together to try to figure this out and at least try to get him to a point where he can maybe get 60-80 points in a season.
They should probably think about sitting him for a game at some point but to say "just make him the 13th forward" would be the stupidest thing you could do 110 games into a 9 year relationship.
And even then...he's not worth near $10.5M but he's still an NHLer. 70 points in 110 games isn't "he's not even an NHLer territory", just not worth close to $10.5M.
