Mangiapane to miss the net when set up for a open net, or Lindholm to pass the puck starring down a open net?

He is also the reason guys like Lindholm and Mangiapane aren't getting more chances and more time in the offensive zone when they are on the ice with Huberdeau. Every player is going to flub occasional scoring chances, but Huberdeau kills plays and momentum with such frequency, it holds them back.
Even if you aren't buying that, it is undeniable that his cap hit is holding the team back and looks like it is going to for the better part of the next decade.
