Huberdeau went from most assists by a LW to 55 points. Markstrom went from Vezina finalist to .892 SV%.

And Kadri went into FU Sutter mode over the last three weeks of the season when it mattered most.
There were obviously a few things that went seriously wrong, but I can't help but think that if Huberdeau played even 75% like the Huberdeau he was the year before, that year would have had a much different feel, and the team would be in a very different place right now.
