I'm going to be honest, Huberdeau looks very different so far in Calgary compared to Florida in terms of his offensive chances and creativity. Huberdeau could literally take over games and create plays out of almost nothing, and much of that was about creating chaos int he o-zone with unexpected passes and random player movement. When things are predictable, it's harder to be creative.
I haven't seen Kadri as much in Colorado, but the few games I watched he was very productive in creating chances in the offensive zone.
It's not beyond the pale to assume that Sutter's system of play suppresses some creativity. He wants that predictability because that's what keeps chances against down, but it does limit how much and what types of plays you can create offensively.
