I still don’t see Huberdeau clicking much with his linemates except on the PP.

Huberdeau need's linemates that can transition with speed and play with pace that can create and open up lanes/free space in the offensive zone. That's not something Lindholm and Toffoli are particularly great at (specifically Toffoli). That's exactly why he excelled with Duclair and Bennett. To me - Dube fit's that mold to a T, and those two have played just five minutes together at even strength and created 7 scoring opportunities together in those minutes - which is ridiculous. It really puzzles me why they haven't had a look together.
