Getting Huberdeau’s play back to the level of his contract isn’t going to happen by dwelling on previous poor performances and looking backwards. They are done. They are gone & in the past.
Letting them go is the starting point. Try it.
As long as he is contributing, being a good teammate, and enjoys helping and mentoring young players, he’s a massive asset to the team.
If he rediscovers his previous game during the reset, that’s a bonus.

I think you're looking a little too hard into what I am saying. I am not his coach, you're not his coach, Huberdeau should not pay attention to anyone on the internet.
I am a customer, who happens to agree with criticisms surrounding Huberdeau's play as it relates to his expectation. He can be a contributing, good teammate, who enjoys helping young players, but so long as he is a 50pt player ( 62 pt player if he keeps up his ppg pace) he is a extremely over paid 3rd liner. I don't think people should be made to feel bad for saying it. But like Bingo said, it isn't news, and bringing it up doesn't change anything. So maybe it isn't worth repeating, except that it is a cautionary tale of signing player over 30 to cap defining contracts.
