I think the point is that Huberdeau has had his opportunity to play with players in Calgary that had an equal or greater history of scoring than that of the players he routinely played with in Florida. And nothing works. He is playing with Backlund and Coleman right now not because they expect Huberdeau to make them 30 goal scorers, but because it's the only place he hasn't been a liability most of the time.

There is nothing so special about Duclair, Bennett, Wennberg, or Hornqvist that not having them prevents Huberdeau from being productive with players like Lindholm, Kadri, Mangiapane, Toffoli, Backlund, or Coleman.
