He's always been a PP wizard so I don't doubt he'll keep racking up points there. Even strength though I think you are seeing an offensive player trying to re-invent his game and to me currently he doesn't look good at all.

You have to keep in mind that Huberdeau is also a pass-first guy, so when he comes to a team that lacks quality finishers…well, here we are.
Toffoli/Kadri/Lindholm/Andersson/Hanifin is no Ekblad/Barkov/Giroux/Reinhart/Duclair
