I don't think that's fair. Most people just don't have much sympathy for Huberdeau. He's not only responsible for signing the contract but his poor play is a big part of why the team is rebuilding. You can't occupy 1/8th of a team's salary cap without being the guy.
With a rising cap, I wouldn't say Huberdeau's fate is sealed either though. He just needs to play like a PPG+ player consistently for a couple of years, and his contract becomes market value.
