I can't see anyone taking Markstrom. There is no team going into the playoffs where he is an upgrade for them. If he was, they wouldn't be going into the playoffs. Maybe in the off season, a team will take a chance on resurrecting him.
I think Huberdeau probably has negative value at this point considering a team would be acquiring an $84 million contract after a year where he was terrible. He is only 1 year removed from a 100 point season, so someone might be willing to take him, but we'd likely have to take back another bad contract. I guess that is the thing to consider. Would it be better to have a guaranteed anchor, but with less overall cap hit and term, or would it be better to bet on Huberdeau turning it around but risking an even worse anchor.
As for Kadri, I think he actually has some value. Everyone knew his point totals would go down, but i don't think his contract is that outrageous and his production has been fine. It would likely be better on a better team.
