I get the kadri hate, but Huberdeau despite not always looking the best is actually trying out there and is at least ppg

I personally think Huberdeau has been fine. Not 10.5 million fine, but he’s got 3 points in 3 games and plays like he’s giving it 100%.
However, these problems with Kadri aren’t new, they’re carried over from last season. He regularly just doesn’t seem to give a shit. He gives the impression that he got his cup, got his bag, then checked out. It’s frustrating because the fans all know that he’s capable of better than this.

Personally I don’t think either one is being utilized properly, they are both players that like to gamble and take offensive chances put em together with Mang or coronato make an all offence first line, Huberdeau had success in Florida playing with dudes who were fast and liked to fly the zone not 200 foot centres like Barkov
On a side not I think our 200 foot centre Lindholm has been worse than both players mentioned.

It just feels the same. Markstrom seems better and there are some young guys to get excited about but it’s the same. So maybe it’s fan overreaction but also it’s game 85 of an uninspiring on-ice product. Flashes of greatness don’t cut it either, we’ve been looking at those forever.
And I’m not throwing in the towel here, ups and downs are part of the game but we started the season on a down.
