That's not true though.
In the 6 seasons prior to this one he had 441 points in 399 games.
That is a 90 point per season pace.
This year he's on a 55 points pace.
Calgary bought no higher on Huberdeau than Columbus did on Gaudreau, or Florida did on Tkachuk.
That's what makes it even more frustrating though. This isn't some guy that was a 1 year wonder. His career has been more prolific than Gaudreau, he's 12th in the NHL in scoring in the 6 years before coming to Calgary.
He hasn't looked comfortable or confident at all in his time in Calgary (outside of maybe opening night)

He was prolific long before Bennett was his linemate at 5v5.
