I don't think CBJ takes that deal, and even if they did I'd rather have two extra years of Huby and the cap space from Mangiapane and Dube contracts expiring earlier.
Huby is now poor value but big and strong. Johnny is now poor value but small and weak. If neither goes back to being productive at the rate you pay them, at least one guy can throw his weight around (we've already seen a bit of that this year).
Both are likely to be bought out as soon as it is cap feasible. They're done as elite players.
Let's stop worrying about the monster LW contract we are stuck with. Accept that situation (immovable contract) and start working on what comes next (short term re-tool and long term building a team worthy of the new arena).

Hubby is buyout proof. Johnny less so, so that's likely the difference.
