He’s just so ineffective at everything that it makes him completely useless. Huberdeau isn’t putting up the points, which he is paid to do, but also fails to adapt into a useful role player. His +/- is at -7 which also demonstrates that he’s unable to be a defensively responsible player in a shifted role. You would think that with his reputation of being an “elite” passer that he could at least put up some points on the PP.
As a player he doesn’t score, put up assists, check, or fight. He was completely one dimensional before coming to the Flames and he has lost that capability since he arrived. At this point he should be in the press box for a few games or have a very short leash. They have basically tried everything with him and he continues to be ineffective.
