The good thing out of this year is that now Huberdeau knows how to play on the defensive side of the puck.
Out of all the Flames players, his head was on a swivel constantly in the D zone. Other Flames just focused on the puck.
So if what Connie said is true and they want to play a creative brand in the O zone, this means more east west and attacking the middle and less north south dump and chases on 3 on 2's.
Then Connie mentioned that he wanted structure on the D side so thanks to Sutter I believe Huberdeau figured it out this season.
Some have stated it multiple times this year that this was his best season on the D side.
Wouldn't be surprised to see him over 90 pts next season as the PP can't possibly be worst than last year.
