But that means Gaudreau evolved his game a bit. Huberdeau could as well. He could use a linemate to draw some attention though. Backlund with Huberdeau was successful because Backlund like having the puck more, and defenders had to go to him.
So maybe a Hubderau-Kadri-Lindholm would work. Kadri could draw some attenion down the middle.

I actually like what I’ve seen from that line in the spurts that we’ve seen from them. But with a thinner line up this season, that would leave the 3rd and 4th lines with serious holes and deficiencies. But I guess at this point, who cares. Season already feels like it’s teetering off the cliff 9 games in.
