Jonathan Huberdeau was completely unaware that his agent was throwing his coach under the bus
Allan Walsh has again made headlines by going to bat publicly for his players. Yesterday, Walsh posted a scathing criticism directly towards Flames organization including a shot against head coach Darryl Sutter.
The motivations for this tweet have the hockey world speculating today. It's almost certain that Huberdeau would've approved the tweet and therefore agree with the criticisms. It could also be Walsh taking heat off Huberdeau's poor performance and placing it towards coach Sutter of the organization. Either way, Walsh's criticism rings true - Calgary has been hot garbage this year, and the misery isn't helping anyone.
Huberdeau distanced himself from his agents comments when asked about it yesterday saying the following:

You guys all know Allan, you know,» Huberdeau said, referring to Walsh's willingness to go on social media to advocate for his clients. «You guys know himmaybe a lot more than I do.
Huberdeau continued by causally throwing his agent under the bus by continuing to say that his agent doesn't reflect his personal values
He made that tweet, so that doesn't reflect on me or on the guys,» Huberdeau said. «We all love each other. We're a close team.
Calgary is currently sitting outside a playoff spot and are struggling to string together consistently good efforts, but if one of your stars and his agents can't get on the same page, they may have bigger problems off the ice than on it.
