A lot of heavy lifting for Mangiapane and Huberdeau, the two guys that were below they career averages to pick up in terms of goals lost from Toffoli and possible goals lost if Zadorov, Rasmus, Backlund and Coleman drop closer to their averages over the past 5 seasons.

Other guys will have career years, other guys will have drop offs.
Just how it goes, but when your top performers are struggling it’s a pretty big impact and I think it’d be pretty foolish to write off Huberdeau.
