depends on the characterization - prior to last season, in the three seasons that Huberdeau had were cumulatively top 3 in points in the NHL iirc.
I don't think anyone disagrees that the room was in diarray last year due to Sutter...That clearly effected the team negatively.
Huberdeau doesn't have to bounce back to 115 points; this roster doesn't have that kind of talent around him imo...but 70-80 points? That would be my prediction. Not worth the contract Tre signed him to however.
Seems pointless to sell the guy at the lowest value possible without determining whether he will bounce back.
Like I said, I am not convince Lindholm
wants to stay. If he does, they you have him sign that contract before cutting bait .
