Giving up a first round pick to be able to sign a 31 year old to a seven year deal? Madness.

That's the UFA game, including signing your own players.
We all know the Huberdeau deal and the Kadri deal will stink at the end. That's a fact. But the choice is to not do those deals, not have those players, and not make the playoffs.
Calgary will be rebuilding when those contracts are bad. So, they won't really matter.
