People are acting like last season was the only one to look at for the top line guys. Players have years where it doesn’t go well. Huberdeau has had that kind of a season. But also his deployment and minutes as well as how the power play is set up haven’t helped.

I don't like the word lazy about players. I certainly wouldn't have said that about Gaudreau or Tkachuk. Neal would probably be an example of someone who fits that bill.
But Huberdeau is not a high energy player. Nor does he play with a ton of speed.
He is definitely having an off year but the comparison to those players is not flattering. Gaudreau's worst year was 58 points in 70 games. Huberdeau needs 16 points in his next 7 games to match that.
