Yeah, they also fired Brunette and brought in Maurice, and literally did a 180 on their playing style that lended itself more to playoff hockey.
But yeah, it's all Huberdeau's fault.
I don't even debate that swapping Huberdeau for Tkachuk would improve their chances in the playoffs, but one player does not make or break playoff success. If it did, the Oilers would have a cup by now.
