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.

IIRC Johnny still played a bunch of games with Mony after Sutter arrived. Once Johnny-Lindy-Chucky were put together as a line, they started to pop off almost right away.
Doesn't Huby have 13 points coming into tonight?
