No doubt they are a better team.
Huberdeau/Kadri is a much tougher pair to play against than Gaudreau/Tkachuk and IMO also has much more versatile offence. Gaudreau/Tkachuk relies on possession and getting the puck around the net. There's no shots from the point, very few fast breaks, etc...Huberdeau is much more versatile and Kadri was just a straight up better player than Tkachuk last year.
