Actually as a whole 5v5 production has been good for our top forwards - it's the PP production that is deflating our players stats:
Lindholm: 22 (NHL Rank: T-67)
Kadri: 22 (T-67)
Mangiapane: 21 (T-79)
Backlund: 21 (T-79)
Dube: 21 (T-79)
Toffoli: 19 (T-102)
Coleman: 17 (T-130)
Huberdeau: 17 (T-130, you'd like to see him in the top 20 like past years)
Considering there are 96 first line forwards in the NHL - we actually have 5 guys producing at that mark at 5v5 right now - and all three of our top 9 centers which is even more impressive. 3 centers all above 20 5v5 points.

This tells 2 stories. Flames are deep, especially at center, but lack elite offensive players. Something I think we all expected Huberdeau to bring as you mentioned as well.
