Talking about trade value after last season is nonsense. Yes...GM's likely won't give much for him after last season unless someone wants to buy low.
He is going to be solid for us. It's a big contract but as a % of cap in a few years, i'm thinking it won't be that awful.

I don't think anyone, or at least the vast majority of people, think he is staying around the 55 point level for his career, but the concern is if he returns closer to his normal output is that good enough for anything more than keeping the Flames pretty mediocre?
For myself, when I say I want to move on from Hubredeau's contract this summer it is with the expectation that he will be an 80+ point player for the next 5 years, maybe more.
Do we want to pay 10.5m for a player to keep us fighting for first round exits?
