I don't see Huberdeau waiving for Montreal. Being bad on his contract is easy mode compared to Montreal.

Longtime NHL agent Allan Walsh, who has known Drouin and represented him since he was a teenager, also grew up in Montreal. Walsh said playing in Montreal comes with "a wholly unique set of challenges and pressures" that no one can fully understand until they encounter it.
Walsh said playing in Montreal means coming off the ice to be greeted by 15 cameras and more than 30 media members on a near-daily basis. There's also the constant attention that comes when a player is walking down the street, if they visit a local market for groceries or if they eat at a restaurant.
