A lot of stars have played below a PPG under Sutter, while the teams went on to do great things
70 points, plus the strong prevent play, translates to much more than a 100 point player in a porous offense-first system
I think that needs to be acknowledged.

I actually think Huberdeau correctly identified the issues a week or so ago. He's getting stuck in offensive positions where he and his linemates have created no good choices. Of all the Flames having down seasons I see him as most likely to rebound if he gets chemistry. Reminder: Lindholm took years to develop as a centre because of incompatibility.
