You want to make the best of Kadri and Huberdeau's deals? Trade Lindholm. Target the best young prospects and players and picks you can get - and infuse the team with young talent that can develop alongside Huberdeau and Kadri.

Loading up with more old, expensive players that you know that in all likelihood are not going to provide good value over the duration of the deal is not the good answer here. It's the short sighted stupid answer.
How is this not a recipe for perpetual mediocrity? You get some good young players that hit their stride in a few years - maybe even a C as good as Lindholm - just in time for Huby and Kadri to actually start declining?
