1 x UFA

Considering the above, Huberdeau's contract should look inflated versus Gaudreau's, should Johnny also sign a 6yr. Florida is having to buy expensive UFA years for the majority of the contract, whereas Calgary would only be paying UFA dollars on the last year.
This 1000 times this. If Johnny wants the money he needs to max out the term because Calgary needs to buy UFA years to justify the huge cap hit. To me the deal is less than 4 years or full 8
