Kadri seems to be a bit selective last year as to who he likes to play with, and Zary makes his cut, a skilled player where Kadri (thinks he) doesn't have to be the only skill on a line. And Pospsil who will bang and crash (again, something Kadri likes having help with) and help give Zary the space he needs.
Huska alluded to it before, but Kadri is a guy that likes to communicate with his line mates and organizes a lot of what is going on. When one veteran player is doing this with other veterans, I can see how it might seem overbearing and not click. Like if Kadri is telling Huberdeau what to do on the ice, how much of that is just going to be ignored. But when you have a rookie or two in the mix, they are probably more likely to follow him.
