Also, Darryl has sheltered him a lot, he gets tons of offensive zone starts, so he's being put in a great position.
Lastly, I've already been over the Gaudreau on a bad/rebuilding team stuff, not going to waste anymore time with you on that.

Lucic is great for board battle/puck retrieval, but he’s missing all of the other aspects that Huberdeau and Kadri need for that line. I don’t think Lucic is responsible for Hubey playing better. If anything, he’s hurting what his production may actually have been for those past 14 games.
