You think any reputable psychologist is going to diagnose Huberdeau as "unfit to play" because he hasn't scored (while putting up very decent advanced stats numbers)? Come on.

A) Optics mean almost nothing in the NHL, there’s a list a mile long of horrible things happening with no repercussions. This wouldn’t even be a blip on the radar.
B) Maybe you have a link to back up your claim? Big words with nothing to show for it. Eichel either didn’t grieve the team having control over his health or he was unsuccessful. I was unaware the NHLPA was able to over rule medical professionals. Link?
C) See answer A, optics don’t mean a thing, money and winning do.
D) Why would the flames be the first team penalized for this? There have been more egregious examples in the past, see Marian Hossa.
Im saying a psychologist/psychiatrist could diagnose him with whatever they wanted, maybe he’s a little depressy spaghetti and needs 7.5 years of therapy a la Kylington.
