McDavid
Eichel
Kaprizov
Panarin
K Connor
Necas
These 3 will reset the bar. Wild owner is already saying Kap will be north of Draisaitl. Eichel has not signed and no way I see him leaving Vegas. My guess is he wants to see what Kap and or McDavid get.
Bedard
Carlsson
Fantilli
Hutson
Harley
Cooley
Robertson
RFAs this season
McTavish
L Hughes
Most of these guys will be north of Huberdeau, some of the kids might be close to Huberdeau on a short term deal.
Everyone of these players can re-sign now, most probably will stay with their team too and yet none of signed. Numbers will be going way up once the first domino falls
Huberdeau sticks around 25-30 goals and gets 65-70 points and his contract is not bad in a $104M cap

The Flames are a scrappy team that struggled to score. Parekh and other young players can contribute to Huberdeau's future success.
Even if his goals slip, if healthy 70 points is not a massive increase for what he has done in Calgary and still well below what we expected when he came here.
