The thing about predicting stats is that there are far too many variables. In the KHL, Hudler was playing against a lot of goalies and defensmen who aren't NHL quality. The style of play in the NHL is different then the KHL, heck the style of play differs from team to team in the NHL. The quality of line mates has a lot to do with the stats, the minutes they play (both quantity and quality) is going to have a huge part to play in their point outcome.... There are just too many things to consider.

When the Flames picked up JayBow they expected him to be a high point offensive defensman because of what he did with the Panthers in the NHL. That didn't work out.

If you look at Nash going to the rangers its probably going to be the same kind of thing. I doubt (and hope) Nash does poorly on the rangers.

There are just too many factors to consider. The Flames haven't been a playoff team for a few years because their players haven't been great, I would love if Hudler came in and made everyone around him better but I doubt he will.
