I actually thought about this today — if that were the case I think you’d be more willing (?) to start the season with Huberdeau not re-signed yet. Let it play out and hopefully if things go well Huberdeau will extend, otherwise have the difficult conversation of trading him vs going all in again.
But without Johnny, and facing the real prospect of a rebuild, you can’t start the season with an expiring asset like Huberdeau. Either he’s in or he’s out, Treliving doesn’t have the luxury of waiting this time IMO.
