It’s easy and convenient to blame Huberdeau’s linemates, but at some point, the blame has to fall on Huberdeau; especially when you consider the chemistry that Zary has developed with Kadri and the way Sharangovich has played with Lindholm who Jonathan wasn’t able to mesh with.
It's ridiculous that people think there is something so magical about Duclair or Bennett (or Wennberg and Hornqvist the year before), that Huberdeau can't replicate anything resembling success or chemistry with anyone else on the Flames. As if guys like Lindholm, Mangiapane, Coleman, Kadri, and Backlund are just chumps compared to the aforementioned Panthers players that Huberdeau found success with.
