Are you suggesting they change the style of play to match Huberdeaus style only? It seems the rest of the team isn't set up to play that way like it or not. I don't think this team has the offensive talent to open it up and play that way. Especially when they have a struggling starter and an unproven back up.

So Huberdeau isn't elite he is a skilled passer? This is the same guy who has been the most consistent of the elite players mentioned in the previous 5 seasons.
The team has a bunch of players who would benefit from playing a more open style not just Huberdeau.
Did Tampa staple Coleman and Goodrow on Kucherovs line? Did they have Brayden Point playing with Hagel?
Is Mackinnon playing with Mcdermitt or whatever his name is?
Do you a see difference in the speed when you play Colorado and how they move up the ice? You don't need the fastest players in the NHL to play fast and quick and we saw that last season.
