Dan Spiegel: Huberdeau Fulfilling Expectations With Calder Win

Ya but this was probably the weakest calder trophy class in a while.

Huberdeau is legit. Considering how well he played with no real stars setting him up. If Florida picks up MacKinnon, They are gonna be a force in 5 years from now.

I am not saying he isn't, and adding Mckinnon would certainly help, however it takes more than 2 players to build a team. Lmao look at EDM, they have 5 or 6 and they still suck

I agree, but the Panthers showed two years ago that they can succeed if healthy. Even then they were really beat up. But this season was an unmitigated disaster regarding injuries, far and away leading the league in man games lost.

Assuming that doesn't happen again next year, they'll be just fine. They have a nice balance on the roster, and will only get better with the addition of MacKinnon or Jones.

Thanks for the input!

I think last year was the first year we didn't lead the league in man games lost? Definitely kills some teams. I'm thinking you guys are going to have a good season next year. MacKinnon would be an excellent addition to your team. This is one year I wish we were picking in the top five. Was there any truth ti kulikov being shopped around? I read it in quite a few places.

Should stop counting DiPietro's.

Would have given it to Gallagher.
He played 3rd line minutes in montreal playing with guys like Galchenyuk and Prust. He totally deserved it.

Yeah. He's the largest contributor but not any more.

Gallagher played with Desharnais and Pacioretty for most of the season.

I know but it was too easy

First it was Erik Cole. Then Bourque. Then Gallagher. And Desharnais is a smurf.

What's Colorado's excuse...

Just asking do you know who Huby played with most of the season?

Mueller?

Mueller?

Correct and shore. I like mueller but he needs time to get back in the game. Shore was a rookie as well and then got hurt so he basically became useless... Though I like both of them and think they will be solid players next year.

Mueller?
- Kings_are_Evil

And drew shore.... And if I had to choose between Galchenyuk and Shore I think i would choose Galchenyuk every time, even tho I do love the way shore plays..

Kulikov, Bjugstad, Markstrom, Gudbranson. They have more than than just Huberdeau, and Mackinnon if that's who they end up with. It's ridiculous that it's taken this long to get them, but they've started to build a stable of good young players.

Of course Desharnais is a smurf. It's not relevant in this discussion.

Fair enough. But Mueller is better offensively than Prust. And they had 1rst line minutes and decent PP time.

Huberdeau is a great kid. I just believe gallagher had a better rookie season.

Desharnais = overrated

He had a good season. And this year he blew. Most Habs fans on this forum will tell you the same.

Stop being obsessed with him.
