I think the most likely scenario Huberdeau does bounce back (he has to, because there's no way he's as bad as last season), but not to amazing 115 pts levels. I would guess a lot depends on who he's playing with, but even if Lindholm stays it's not like they had great chemistry together last season. I think he'll probably get 65-75 pts. Better, but probably not $10.5M worthy. I'm actually less concerned about the points total though, and more about him looking like an impact player who is going to make the big important plays when it counts. We saw nothing of that last season.
