I actually wonder if it’s a small part of Huberdeau’s struggles this years given he’s used to a much lighter travel schedule out east.

He may not have been in altitude shape at the time of the trade and I don't think the playing season gets you into shape so much as wears on the body. and maybe he was not required to be in great shape in Fla as well. He seems to take pretty short shifts. I remember Toffoli was gassed all the time after he was traded (and now he's not).
I am a mediocre runner but I'm obviously used to altitude here. When I go to sea level places like Vancouver or NYC and go for a run I feel absolutely great.
