When the Florida Panthers named Gerard Gallant their newest head coach last summer, many wondered what kind of an affect the hiring would have on the immediate future of struggling forward Jonathan Huberdeau.
Huberdeau, who blossomed into a top NHL prospect when he played under Gallant with the Saint John Sea Dogs of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, had fallen on hard times after an underwhelming second season with the Panthers.
After capturing the first Calder Trophy in franchise history as the league's top rookie in 2013, Huberdeau recorded only nine goals and 28 points the following season, leaving the organization to question exactly what kind of player they had in the former No. 3 overall selection.
In Gallant's first year behind the bench, however, the 21-year-old quickly shook off any remnants of his sophomore slump to finish as Florida's leading scorer in an overall triumphant third season in the NHL.
