His 54 pts would be a lot more (maybe 70+) in a run and gun and let the goalie be brilliant Flames system that gaudreau had last year.
Hurbedeau was signed for 3.25x2 after holding his breath Gaudreau style and took a step forward being a top forward on a playoff team 59 pts +17 earning a 5.9x6 extension.
Why does Calgary have to pay a premium?

What's missing here is some sort of metric or proof that 54 pts in a defense system translate to 70 in a Hartley system. If you could prove that, that Huberdeau would match Johnny in scoring if he played in CGY, that would be a game changer.
This is actually where hero charts are quite useful. They show you what a player is doing relative to his teammates.
(In case you're wondering, wtf are we talking about
: ricardodw proposed the Huberdeau bridge deal for Gaudreau. Sorry for not having news)
