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.
What team would take on Huberdeau's contract that he would also be willing to go to? The Flames will either bounce back with him and Kadri or they will be the tank commanders. If the Flames blow it up then him and Kadri's contracts will be done by the time it matters.
