You say his cap hit is “obviously” hurting the team. How? Are they looking to sign someone they can’t? Or are they actively shedding even more cap, like Toffoli and Zadorov, and looking to do even more?
You’d think that all the posters who say his cap hit is hurting could give just one example of why. The closest is some fiction that the Flames could take on a $9M contract for a pick. OK, who?

I think it's a difference of perspective. I see what you're saying, it is what it is at this point. We have Huberdeau and his cap hit, and the team is on rails now.
The way I see it, his cap hit is hurting the team because we need a star player worthy of his cap hit, and the fact he has that cap hit and isn't anywhere near living up to that, means that we probably won't have that type of player for the next 7 years. That hurts the team. Maybe it doesn't matter because the team isn't overly competitive at this point, but the reason we aren't overly competitive is largely due to the wasted investment in Huberdeau.
