Honestly, we shouldn't fall for the sunk-cost fallacy.
Trade Huberdeau (33% retained) + 2024 1st round pick to anyone for anything.
Trade Kadri (33% retained) + 2024 2nd & 2025 2nd to anyone for anything.
Only costs us 6 million dollars a season to have them NOT play for us for the next 7 years. How the hell Brad Treleving has a job anywhere in hockey is mind-boggling. With these two moves he absolutely demolished any legacy in this city and if I saw him on the street I'd cuss him out.

They can't possibly do this, if I'm correct. The 1st rounders are all encumbered until the Monahan trade is settled.
Even if they could, how much would you offer Huberdeau now? 8x$4.5M? So a net value of -$48M. Retain 1/3, leaves you with -$20M. So some team would be paying $20 million dollars for a first round pick?
