Another example of the impatience of fans - especially Canadian fans. A player has an off year, you gotta lunch him and run him out of town!
Huberdeau was a useful, contributing player last year. He is not having as good of a season this year, that is pretty indisputable. However, who cares? It is a rebuild year, and he is filling out the roster. There will be times in the years ahead, where the team is playing better and he is playing better. And when that happens, his remaining contract will be much shorter, and the cap will be higher. THAT is when we need to worry about him, and determine what to do with him.
Until then... consider him a tank commander.
