Wayne Gretzky would get 50 points playing with this group of forwards.
It’s like having 4 third lines.

No I didn’t forget anything.
In 21-22 he was mainly with Bennett and Duclair. Good players but not superstars. Between that and PP1, he put up 115 pts.
In 22-23 he was with Kadri (who was playing at 100 pt pace with the Avs the year prior) about 50 percent of the time and Backlund (usually good for 50 pts playing with anyone and not on PP1) and about a third of the time, plus they tried Lindholm-Toffoli-Huberdeau about 15 percent of his ice time. Lindholm had 82 points the year prior.
Not plugs
All of Toffoli, Lindholm, Kadri and Backlund outscored Huberdeau that season
The style the Flames play doesn’t particularly suit his game, but he had very good centres 100 percent of the time, and a mix on the other wing of Coleman, Mangiapane, Toffoli, Pelletier and Lucic (no dispute that Pelletier was green and Lucic in particular was not good)
Let’s not pretend Huberdeau was played with Mark Jankiwski and late stage Troy Brouwer
