I think Huberdeau is a symptom of a very poor decision by management / ownership and he’s sort of become the flagship persona of disappointment. He gave the fans hope after losing 2 of the best forwards we have seen in a decade, clearly that didn’t work.
Had management decided to go the rebuild route (which to some extent they were forced into anyways) he could have been traded the year he was acquired for a boatload. Instead the flames have the singular worst contract in the NHL, and yes it isn’t hindering the team currently, there’s also no pride in being as big of a disappointment as Huberdeau has been.
