Huberdeau makes $10.5M, is on pace for 60 points on a team that is on pace to finish what? 17th?
Give that man a raise, honour him as forever a Flame, and give him an A+.

I see where you're coming from, but a lot of people base their expectations of a player based on the production in the last year or two.
Huberdeau isn't playing at a $10.5M clip, that's fair, but he's a lot better than the 12-15G, 55P LW that would disappear offensively for a month.
At the same time Bahl is paid $1M, he's holding his own in a top 4 role. He's already having a career year in points. It's also only his 2nd full year in the league. IMO if you're grading based on the contracts then he should be paid at least $3.5M, and have a higher grade.
Out of the Fs Kirkland as a player of no consequence got the Flames a couple of extra points in the shootout, which is already great at league min. Hanley solidified the Weegar pairing, and they've been one of the top pairings in the league based on analytics. Weegar should get most of the credit, but Hanley deserves some kudos as well.
I think that inconsisteny could make your grades seem a bit biased or as an attempt to take a dump on a couple of players. Personally I don't mind your perspective, and it's a fun discussion.
