And we might be already close to that point. Question is - how long will it sustain through the contract.

Huberdeau is going to get help though via the cap and Flames prospects.
His cap hit this year is 13th highest and is 12.1% of the cap. Cap is projected to go to $113 mil. If it does, his cap hit is 9.3% of the cap. He will be outside the top 20 cap hits in the next year or 2.
Add a player like Parekh, I can see Huberdeau sustaining what he is doing this year for a few years.
He doesn't need to be a 90-point guy to be somewhat valuable to this team or tradeable.
