I see a lot of "Kadri can't pass", but guarantee he makes a good to great pass every game. Huberdeau's poor passing is what kills me primarily given that is supposed to be his an elite ability of his.

No one says Kadri can’t pass. They say he won’t, or doesn’t very often.
Yes, you can point out a time he made a pass to Huberdeau and Huberdeau (maybe) didn’t do well with it (although he was hooked making a backhand move). But there’s plenty more examples where he doesn’t find Huberdeau, despite the latter being open and in good position.
And it’s not just with Huberdeau. Watch Kadri in OT, when puck possession is key and you need to retain rather than just wire open shots at the goalie.
