Seems like a no-brainer for Hube to extend, with a mutual understanding that he may ask out if it's not a fit...or that the Flames may even move him by this TDL (which would imply it wasn't a great fit). Nobody [who is rational] should be upset if he asks out.
His value will never be higher and it's unlikely he'll find himself negotiating with any other team that needs to sign him as badly.
Hopefully something like 8x10.11 (his jersey number and to exceed Barkov's number), but I'd plug my nose and do 8x10.5M if necessary. He's durable and consistent. There are a few areas where he leaves you wanting more, but that's true of 99% of the league.
Weegar is a far more interesting question and much harder to pin down an AAV. Personally I'd move on from Hanifin - nothing wrong with him, but I think he's looking at 6.5M on his next deal and it's just a luxury we can't afford. I'd rather bet on a wildcard like Weegar. Weegar has only earned like 9M + another 3M this year - he should also be motivated to secure the bag and worry about location later.
