Does he need to be better at 5-on-5? Yep. Has he been absolutely dreadful? Not really, he's been much more responsible, and I think as he learns the system and gets more comfortable he will start to take some of those chances again that .

I was going to make a thread on this but this post summed it up entirely. Huberdeau is not scoring a lot but he is scoring a lot more than the other team is while he’s out there. He leads the team in 5v5 splits.
Might be due to playing with Lindholm a lot but it’s a good indication that he can steady and be the guy to have out there when it matters.
