The premise is that Huberdeau's NMC kicks in on July 1st so this might be the only time to ever trade him. They suggest the trade would be for prospects, swapping 1st rounders (16th for the 12th pick), plus a 3rd rounder.... because obviously a 3rd rounder would be needed to get a deal done. |
Pretty crazy idea. Arizona takes on cap, not money, and certainly not $84M worth. And they certainly wouldn't be giving up value to take on that much money.
They just aren't the target to trade Hubby to.
