Sorry, but you’re not going to convince me that one year of Huberdeau is worth more than a guaranteed 8 years of Tkachuk. I agree with you that Huberdeau is the better player and has an easier cap hit to swallow, but all things being equal, 8 years of Matthew Tkachuk beats a one year rental of any player in the NHL IMO.
