Say what you want about Huberdeau's abilities of late, but he absolutely cares and is still trying. There's a significant difference in the character of these two guys and I'm fine with Huberdeau as long as he's still putting in the effort. I still genuinely believe he'll get back to around a point per game player. Not so sure that Gaudreau will based on those sorts of efforts.

Don't think of it as Huberdeau for Gaudreau. Think of it as a terrible contract for a terrible but much less terrible contract.
