Ya the only issue I have with the trade, I will add that I do like the return, and think that Huberdeau is a great player, is simply the age of the players coming back, which goes to the whole "Win Now" texture of the deal. Which works within Treliving's mission. I still would love to see a bit of succession planning within the roster.
