Do you remember that? Button hook turnovers at the blueline, can't get it clean into the zone?
It took a while for him to kill those bad habits and find some proper linemates for him to go off.
I think once guys start going to areas he puts the puck things will ease up for him. Right now he is drawing the entire defence to him and passing through people, but he has also made great passes to guys to score easy goals that haven't been finished.
It shouldn't be that hard, Lindholm needs to start driving the puck in and dishing to Huberdeau and both him and the winger need to charge the net to get the passes or open up in the slot.
It's also not just a Huberdeau issue this seems to be a team wide issue. Trying to throw passes through people to a guy giving no support. Especially from our own end.

Johnny was in his early 20's doing this, not at 30 going onto 31 and making 10.5M.
Sorry, but Johnny and Huberdeau are two completely different players one brings people out of his seats even when the team was struggling.
