This seems like an insane take. Huberdeau was routinely penciled in as a Team Canada first liner with McDavid, and he can't skate?
From my viewings of Huberdeau, I would say he has such great all-around talent that no one aspect really stands out. He seems plenty fast to me, but not McDavid fast. Great puck handler/passer, but not the same kind of magician Johnny is.
He is a line driver though. He is the focus, notwithstanding he is a winger. It will be fascinating to see what Bennett does without him, because I do think he benefitted greatly from playing with Huberdeau.
