Don't look now but McDavid is on pace for 179 points and both him and Draisatl can be that game breaking player on their lines. I'm not sure if Huberdeau can become that player for us.

Let's be honest - the entire Oilers' system is based on "let McDavid do what he wants! we'll try to cover for the rest." He & Draisatl are averaging 22 min TOI (it's that extra 7 seconds that're the b*tch) - Huberdeau is at 16 min TOI.
All I am saying is - give the guy a chance.
