Maybe because the season has gone the way of rebuild and fans harped on it enough already but it seems we have not been talking about the fact Huberdeau is almost certainly going to have a worse season this year compared to last. I saw some stuff on Twitter after the last game as Weegar has now tied him with 46pts but has 7 more goals.
The hard lesson the Flames learned was how impossible it is to lose 2 guys who finished in top 10 league scoring and to think they were still going to be a contender especially when you looked at the track record under Treliving where the team was never able to have year over year consistency. They got older guys and signed them to massive deals where the key piece in all of it has been a massive failure and is quite easily the worst contract in the league.
