22 points in 30 games. People (and he himself) complained about his ice time, rumors of a rift between the two of them.
Especially at 5v5 all of Gaudreau, Lindholm and Tkachuk didn’t produce a ton those first 30 games under Sutter as they learned to play a more responsible 200ft game.
Gaudreau: 15 in 30
Tkachuk: 14 in 30
Lindholm: 13 in 30
Huberdeau: 7 in 21 (10 in 30 pace)
So off the pace of those guys still too but I’d argue since his was a trade he probably had an even bigger overall adjustment to make.

Not to mentioned those 3 played together for 3 seasons maybe not on the same line but on the power play allergic the time and had some chemistry.
