You definitely don't sell low or take in junk like that Duha suggestion. I'm not as down on him as others as Darryl gets a lot out of his players but not always their best offensively and I think that's the case here. I still think he could get back to his career norms here under a different head coach.
If the Flames decide to move on from Huber after this season (let's say he has 60 points), no one will take on a $10.5% cap hit and give up a 1st round pick and top prospects. We all laughed at that suggestion for Karlsson who is haivng a very good year this year.

Teams will need to see some evidence of a bounce back before committing that much trade capital.
