For Huberdeau though, i’ve said it a lot that I don’t think it’s his linemates that’s been the source of his frustrations. This is a guy who had a career year with Sam Bennett and Anthony Duclair, yet he can’t figure it out with anybody here? Are our players that much worse than Duclair or Bennett? Unlikely, it’s something else.

When it comes Lucic, man I don’t know. It’s a pretty tiring conversation and honestly, a lot of fanbases complain about it. I’ve seen this same conversation had around the NHL. Typically, fans don’t want to see their 4th lines get minutes especially if you can play the top 6 more, but every coach in the NHL uses them and they’re usually in the range of 10 minutes give or take which is about where Lucic is. He did play with Huberdeau and Kadri for a month which probably inflated his minutes as well, but Im not gonna bother doing the math.

There’s not much more I can say or want to say, I get the hate, but it’s not the biggest reason why the team is sitting where they are, not even close.

Great post got admire flames fan base they want results and are frustrated 30 year drought
