But I wouldn't be shocked if Huby is gone this off-season, especially if Sutter stays. He's not a prototypical Sutter player and if there's a rift between Tre and Sutter on roster construction, I couldn't imagine who else it might be about.

Explain how a bunch of the Avs had career years?
Kadris issue was his ego and bad attitude. Selfish offensively and weak on back checks. His points seemed in like with his career numbers but his game was missing the compete fire the agitation.
Frankly he was the poster boy for what was wrong with the way we played.
Huberdeau bought into the system and did what he could and was misused all season. He was treated poorly from the get go by the coach but still played within the system that saw his point total tank.
If anyone should be moved it's Kadri. Seems like a crappy teammate on top of being awful on the ice.
Huberdeau will bounce back if they rectify the coaching. Reminds of Dale Hunter trying to turn Ovechkin into a grinder.
