Plus, as mediocre defensively as he is, he is probably the best defensive forward on his line on any given night. Sharangovich is not able to handle centre defensive duties (yet anyway) and Kuzmenko is a real defensive hole.
That said, if you look at Bingo’s game takes much, Huberdeau’s line is often on top in metrics.
