The play Hanifin made on the first goal is exactly what Huberdeau needs from his linemates - someone to skate into space before the puck gets there and he'll find them.
Put Huberdeau with someone fast on the other wing like Dube and they'll start putting up points in bunches IMO.

Agreed. Said before season I don’t like Toffoli with Huberdeau. I wanted Dube but I’d be ok with Mangiapane. I do think Mangiapane Kadri and Toffoli would have better chemistry and Dube would be good with Lindholm and Huberdeau
2nd line all smallish skilled guys and first line is bigger and skilled. Need to mix the speed up and get a righty on each line
