He should be elevating his line mates with his passing ability but I haven’t seen any of that.

A lot of Huberdeaus linemates in this package seem to know what he's thinking and get into the spots where they know where he'll find them.
Most of the time with the Flames line mates he's given, they continue to do what they would normally do and hope he'll find them. I think this comes down to lack of chemistry which is why I suggest that whoever plays with Huberdeau is given an extended look in practice and games and even off the ice.
There is no question the talent is there. 4 consecutive seasons over a PPG is NOT a fluke. It is a lack of chemistry / understanding with linemates.
