Tkachuk would be a nice, even Johnny would’ve been quite helpful at doing some of the heavy lifting for Huberdeau. Gaudreau is also one of the best “bad pass” players I’ve ever seen, some of the wild Huberdeau passes we’ve seen probably could’ve been cradled by Gaudreau and turned into a highlight reel play.
But off the top of my head, I think a Mackinnon type player would compliment Huberdeau really well. A power forward who can push the pace of play, back up defenders and dish off to Huberdeau who can then find the trailer wide open or something.
I mean, I’m sure Huberdeau would love a guy who has breakaway speed and a cannon for a shot who can take the middle, or drive the net or who can open up space for him. That’s probably the type of teammate who could unlock Huberdeau’s skillset.
