Trudeau was definitely adjusting his game in the first half of the season. I don't think he even recorded a point before Christmas, but then he had fairly steady production after that.
I think his progression through the season showcases his IQ and how he's been able to re-tool his game from juniors to the AHL after enough exposure and coaching/development. I still see a Top 4 role as a ceiling for him.
A lot of defencemen from his draft class were still in juniors, and Trudeau's AHL production was almost on par with the highly-drafted Edvinsson. Not saying that Trudeau's potential is the same as Edvinsson, but it's encouraging to see this as part of Trudeau's trajectory.
