He went from 52 to 62 points based largely on a 18.3 shooting percentage.
To expect another jump of between 13-23 points seems pretty unrealistic.
Especially since the Flames aren't covered with a bunch of offensively gifted players.
If a Marner had joined the team, maybe that would be possible.
But Huberdeau, his most offensively gifted linemate Kadri will be 35 when the season starts.
If they can keep up their existing production I'd be pretty happy.
Huberdeau did re-invent his game but points are often a reflection of a players linemates as well. 75 points is hard when you aren't playing on a gifted scoring line.
