Huberdeau has been a really good player over his career and his pass-first style of play lends itself to a longer career than, say, a power forward. I refuse to believe he suddenly lost it at his age - I think it’s more a reflection on team makeup (not that I’m excusing him for sucking). Maybe if we luck out on a high-talent high pick it will unlock vintage Huberdeau.
It’s pretty damning if it takes playing with particular players to unlock his talent, but the reward could be high.
