Imagine Huberdeau was on the Oilers with the season he just had, what would we be saying on here?
We laugh at the Nurse contract, it's a million less a year for a year shorter.
If this was Huberdeau on any other team we'd be roasting them.
If Huberdeau was on another team and available right now what would you offer to land him with his current contract? I'm pretty sure the "he had 115 points before last season" schtick wouldn't fly.
Huberdeau is a guy you take a flyer on if he is 4.5 a year and just had the season he had, nobody wants him with the "hope" he returns to 100 point guy and takes up 12% of your cap for 8 more years.
Best case scenario he is PPG for next 3-4 years and them it's going to hurt. The cap going up is not going to make this deal look better, it's still poor cap management.
Huberdeau might have even less value if you consider Miller might be had and he is a PPG player that makes 2MM less a season.
