Huberdeau, as poorly as last season went, still got you 55 points last year. On a team without a lot of offensive talent.
Lose Kylington and from what it sounds like, Hanifin too and suddenly your depth doesn't look so hot.
There is no UFA defensemen this year to fill those voids.
Cap room is only useful if guys like Lindholm and Hanifin want to stay; which I am not convinced about.

I hate the Huberdeau contract, but that proposal is absurd... not to mention AZ wouldn't pay Hubie that money either, considering how poor their finances are.
now if the play is to burn it down, you do that deal, but that's never an option for the Flames.
