Huberdeau was a vital part of the Florida Panthers success in the 2015-16 season, leading the overachieving club to a franchise best 103 points and a division title. The incredibly talented winger registered an astounding 20G, 39A, and 59 points in 76 games played that year.
In result, the Panthers rewarded Huby’s spectacular year with a deserving contract extension: 6 years with 5.9 million per year. Jonathan is easily a 50+ point player on a yearly basis, but a serious injury in a preseason game last year prevented Huby from hitting that mark.
Huberdeau, a pivotal piece to the Panthers roster, was forced to miss a total of 51 games due to a horrendous leg injury sidelining him for more than half of the season.
