The Official 2022-23 Season Talk Thread

I read that Huberdeau's points drop was the largest in NHL history from one season to the next.

115 points last season to 55 this season in pretty much the same amount of games (1 game difference).

That 115pt season was a bit of an outlier. Sure he was injured before that, but he averaged around 90pts per 82 games in the prior 3 seasons.

But even then, he had multiple 30 goal scorers around him. In Calgary, Toffoli is your only best goal scorer? That's a downgrade from Barkov, Reinhart. Even Duclair was good for that one season.

Both games tonight were make up games
