My concern with the team is actually less about Huberdeau being a complete bust so far.
Despite Huberdeau clearly not being anywhere close to the play drivers gaudreau/tkachuk were, that doesn’t explain why the team gives up so many super high quality chances night after night.
It’s a sutter team, offence is a luxury. The team is supposed to be disciplined, solid defensively and tough. The rangers game was my last straw. Dumb giveaways time after time, and trouba (and blais) initiated big hits and still won the fights .
Bad at offence, bad at defence, bad at goaltending (markstrom) , not discliplined, not tough/intimidating.
Huberdeau sucking hasn’t helped, but he’s not the only reason the team isn’t a clear playoff team either…
