I'm not defending his play of late but IMO on a team that has some legitimate skill, he's probably going to be a 70-80 point player off assists alone. It's never going to work in Calgary unless one of the organizations young center pops in the coming years where Huby can play on his wing.
Maybe you are right.

That doesn’t excuse his despondent play though. Surely he can see what you just posted as well. So he either bides his time as an effective winger in this system while he waits for such to players arrive, or he works hard to attract attention and get himself traded to a team that sees the same thing and has such players.

I just don’t see how his play helps anyone right now.
