The most exciting thing will be this year. Both guys on value contracts. The entire D are on value contracts. Markstrom, Lindholm, playing beyond their contract. Depending on Lucic/Monahan, Flames could be big contenders and in position to make moves midseason for a second straight year.

Gaudreau hasn’t played an elite 200ft game in his life in the NHL. Under Sutter his defensive/away from puck game went from terrible to passable. But he has electric game breaking agility, vision and playmaking ability offensively.
Huberdeau is a more complete player, not sure how you could argue against that, if you’ve watched both.
They’re in the same tier and it’s not a LOL to argue one is better than the other.
