Fair question. Sometimes it's about opportunity and Hudler received little PP time in Detroit, not saying he should have gotten it but he didn't.
I also think it's about getting back on track. The season prior to going back to Russia the guy seemed poised for a break out. He had then a career high in goals and points and it seemed like the next season he would improve on those numbers even more. He went back to Europe and took a step back IMO. He returned the following year (last season) and looked lost. He never really looked great. I think he got back on track this season and it's possible back on track for a break out of sorts.

mean, realistically, you're saying you think he can match his career high in goals and exceed his career high in pointsby 20% in a year where he shot better than 5 percent more than his career average.

His career high in points is 57 and I said 60. I didn't do the math, is that a 20% improvement?
