I think it's actually a reason where Huberdeau looks less effective - his game isn't like Gaudreau where you skate around the zone until a passing lane opens up. It's making those quick one - twos to get into space.

There were a couple instances last night where he made a quick pass to Lucic or Kadri, and you could see him get himself into position for a quick pass back, but they just held on to it.

It's the issue with our PP too - rarely two passes in quick succession. It's pass, look for a shot, look for a shot, slow pass. Then repeat.
And why I think you're on to something with Dube on Huberdeau's other wing.

He's more of a take it give it back kind of guy with foot speed.
