Hey Lucic and Hubderdeau had some chemistry together. I'm pretty sure statistically, he's been his most productive line mate this season. Seemingly everyone clamored to remove Lucic or play Pelletier instead and yet, here we are, 200 posts deep into a "what to do with Huberdeau" thread and another "Huberdeau is a bust" thread near by.
Looch doesn't get nearly enough credit around here for his playmaking skills and hockey IQ. Sure his contract is an absolute farce and his skating looks like crap, but instincts, ability to protect pucks, hands in tight and net front presence can still be very beneficial to skilled players.
