I also think the idea is just a fallacy to begin with. Huberdeau gets his 20+ shifts a night, if he's only good for a handful of those 20+ shifts a night, how does adding an additional 5 shifts really help his situation?

I think the other guys would want Huberdeau going again, and it's not like big chunks of the roster are playing way better. Last game it was really the Kadri line and not much else. Lindholm was still bad. I didn't notice Ruzicka, Dube, Mangiapane (aside from the crosscheck) or Sharangovitch at all. It's just that the spotlight is on Huberdeau.
As for shifts - it's more time and situation. Let him play with Backlund for a while and see. He's on the second PP unit now, which is counterproductive. I think he's better than Ruzicka at the very least.
