All I am saying is - give the guy a chance.

I don't really care how Edmonton does it, but they're winning games. They have 2 generational players, why wouldn't they want to exploit their talent and maximize their time on ice. Not even sure why we are talking about Edmonton...
As for our team, Huberdeau has looked awful and would not look any better if given an additional 6/7mins. Same with Lindholm.
Lets just hope they both pick it up sooner rather than later, the team needs our best players to be the best players.
