7 pts in 23 games on what lines? How much icetime? PP or not? You put Huberdeau in those same situations and give him the same icetime and ya, he’ll prob get you 7 points too. Did you watch Kadri the last 50 games? He was horse####. Literally Pelletier was better than him on the second half the year, just not given icetime or opportunities. This is the whole point. You don’t bring a guy up play him 3 mins on line 4 and then say see? Only 1 point in 20 games! Disingenuous. That’s the best word to describe the Flames handling of rookies this year.
