I would just stick Huberdeau with Backlund and Coleman. Give the kids the more offensive roles.
It's clear he's never going to be that offensive dynamo he once was. We're stuck with him for the next number of years.
Best we can hope for is he becomes a reliable middle 6 winger that doesn't give up alot.
He won't pull Backlund and Coleman off their games.
Kuzmenko - Kadri - Mantha
Zary- Pospisil - Sharky
Huberdeau - Backlund - Coleman
Be ready to demote or sit guys who aren't working (e.g. Mantha or Kuzmenko) and replace them with kids (e.g. Coronato, Honzek and Pelletier)
