Huberdeau and Duclair aren't winning you any Stanley cups or making you a contender; especially with Lindholm/Hanafin/Tanev/(Dube or Mang) gone.
Or you trade Mangiapane/Dube & the UFA's for picks/prospects, ride out whatever Huberdeau is this season and go into the next draft with a great pick plus more accumulated assets from those trades.
Getting a friend of huberdeau right now is the most short sighted option management could ever make.

No, best case scenario is someone taking Huberdeau a la Karlsson. Flames are still a bottom 5 team even if Huberdeau gets back to 100 points unless some prospects really surprise. Mangiapane and Dube don’t have much value and you are looking at swapping them out for similar players anyways.
