Super interesting scout written look at Huberdeau and why things aren't working in Calgary.

This can basically be summarized as, Huberdeau isn't a driver. He isn't a keystone that you put on top of a finished arch, but a puzzle piece that you need to build your roster and systems around. I guess that makes sense as Florida had a decade to build around him. Unfortunately, we don't have the time, cap, or roster flexibility to cater to a player like that. He'll be 35 by the time that can happen.

I also agree that Huberdeau needs to move more. He just doesn't seem inclined to play that way.
