And blocked shots is often a function of his line getting caved in, especially since he generally starts in the offensive zone.

Starting in the offensive zone is all well and good, if you have a centre that can win a faceoff. If not it just means you have to skate a bunch before you defend.
Huberdeau can’t win with some of you. “He can’t play on the PK because he passes into skates, as opposed to using his skates to stop pucks”. “But he leads forwards in blocks”. “Oh well that’s because he gets caved in more than others” (that’s not actually the case if I read the game reports right).
Huberdeau is not producing enough. That’s on him, his linemates and the way the team plays. But let’s stick to facts about his stats as well.
