That is a good point about the type of players he needs. Huberdeau's highlights in Florida are always of making spectactular passes through traffic to someone who happens to be in the right position for the pass because they were making space in the defense with their hard nosed style.

In Calgary, his linemates are less aggressive and he's often isolated and has to make a last second pass through traffic and it gets picked off all the time. There's never a friendly player in the positions that seem to be where his hockey brain is anticipating them to be.
Pospisil is pretty aggressive with good speed but likely too early in his career to tell if he'll be a full-timer and a middle-sixer.
