Huberdeau can whip impossible passes around at the drop of a hat, and if he played with someone that could link a second pass together, the points would be piling up significantly faster.
Huberdeau had to turn himself into a grinder in front of the net, because that's the only way you're getting a chance generated by Kadri.

Kadri likes to carry, which is good for Huberdeau. He doesn't seem to look to pass to Huberdeau once in the zone as often as he should, and when bad habits creep in he does it when Huberdeau is covered. Going forward, Zary, or maybe Frost will be a better centre for Huberdeau. They need a net front guy and/or shooter then, because it won't be Huberdeau. Could be Stromgren if he finds his game, or maybe Honzek plays wing. Or Gridin or Basha?
Huberdeau connects well with a trailing Dman. The Andersson goal was an example. Hopefully Parekh can be that guy.
