Hudler's career high, previously, was 57 points in 2009. That year Malkin had almost exactly double his points with 113, Ovechkin and Crosby each had 100+ seasons and you needed 88 points to be in the top 10. There were 75 players who out scored Hudler. On Hudler's team alone there were 6 higher scorers.
This year not a single player is likely to beat 85 points and Hudler currently sits 15th in scoring. Even if Hudler outscores his previous career year by 15-20 points, it's going to be very understated just how significantly better he was.
