And that trade was horrific at the time and got worse . So we need to find an idiotic GM and probably retain if moving

Have not seen the J- Fresh WAR card on Huberdeau....but was he 5% War bad last year? He had a terrible season but how much worse was he than a guy who was-33 to get 74 points?
I dont recall the advanced stats on Huberdeau putting him at the bottom of the league.
That's the level OEL was at when the Canucks traded for him.
Foolish me thinks Huberdeau can get back to being more the 90 point guy he had been than the 55 point guy he was. Doubt he'll return equal value on his contract, but I don't think he's another Brouwer or Neal. If the team offs him for nothing and eats 2.625 a year for 8 years to do it...I doubt they'll find a guy for under 8 per that outscore him in the next 5 seasons without giving up something significant to get that player.
