Sharangovich seems like he's finding his game despite his linemates so I don't see any harm in trying him with Huberdeau either.

Kadri's "not being good" was different than Huberdeau's, IMO. Even when Kadri wasn't good, you could still see the spark. His issue was that he was trying to do everything himself and wasn't using his line mates well. He was noticeable good ways, but also just too noticeable in bad ways. It was frustrating, but at least there was reason for hope. Now that he has the line mates he does, who seem to follow his lead, he has been a lot more effective.
With Huberdeau, you rarely ever see a spark. There is just very little there to give you hope. As Pinder said, he's just a guy out there. He has been less of a liability in general lately, but still not usually noticeable in a good way.
