I don't really think it's a great explanation either. Great players make an impact on the ice and it's disappointing that he's not doing that so far. The guy we traded for him has 34 points with a new team and new system. That's not to say I think hope is lost either, but it's certainly a disappointment so far and a potentially terrible problem for the team.
Personally, I also just view hockey as entertainment and have found Huberdeau very boring to watch so far. Wish there was a bit more inspiration in his play.
