The 2018-19 AHL season wasn’t particularly kind to Daniel Audette. From the outset, he wasn’t producing as much as was expected of him in his third year in the pros. A big leap forward was needed in the last year of his contract, to prove that he was worth keeping around for the organization.
His place in the lineup changed from third to first-line centre, with stops at first-line wing and a drop to the bottom trio. Audette was basically all over the place as the call-ups and injuries came, and his numbers took a bit of a hit.
