Dube as well seems comfortable carrying the puck, though gets it stripped from him more often (he kind of reminds me of Bennett in that respect, except that Bennett would usually carry it up the middle of the ice and lose it trying to get through two defenders, while Dube usually tries to carry it up the wing and gets taken out along the boards). On paper, Kadri entering the zone, dishing to Huberdeau, then Huberdeau finding the open man in the offensive zone should be a recipe for success - but who knows whether they can actually develop the chemistry necessary to work together as well on the ice as they do on paper.
