He is going to be the perfect line mate for Huberdeau. I know that. I went back and watched so much footage of Huberdwau last year to see what was working and why a 115 point player was suddenly looking to produce half that.
Pelletier checks every box. He's fast, he's intelligent and gets open, while aptly reading what his line mates are doing, and is a left shot. That is the exact type of player that Huberdeau needs to put up points. And he looked more than ready to read and get open at the NHL level in his first game.

100% agreement here as well. I watched a lot of Huberdeau over the past 5-6 years. He just hasn't found the right linemates yet. Pelletier is the perfect type of player for him to succeed with at 5 on 5.
