Definitely among the two biggest things. I think you get anything you can for Markstrom. He's been bad for a year and a half and I'm not sure there are any takers at his salary/term remaining.
Huberdeau is a must sell to get back solid value and also to get out from under that contract. He looks destroyed in this system where he has no confidence offensively. What is the team doing to address that? I don't think there will be any build around his style with Sutter, so consequently there will be no improvement from him. If you have more sample size with the same play, surely no team would take a chance at him while giving up assets. Some could argue his value isn't good now with the salary/term. I say you sell now as 8 more years of him and Kadri are terrible in a cap system going forward given their age. There is no luxury of waiting until he turns it around.
