Don't get me wrong, I truly think it's a good thing that Pospisil, Zary and Sharangovich are getting reps at the C position but there are some serious growing pains and a steep learning curves for these guys, and Huberdeau has almost exclusively had to deal with that.

It's true he hasn't played with Backlund much at all, and every C on the team has had issues (Rooney's been fine). You'd like to see a veteran like Huberdeau help that situation though.
Really the best thing for this team IMO is finding another NHL quality center and put the young wingers in their right spots. Which eventually squeezes someone like Huberdeau out of the lineup.
