How is trading Zadorovs 3.75M for cap space spun as such a good move yet Huberdeaus 10.5 that doesn't matter?

The new arena would be called Conroy Stadium if trades Huberdeau without cap coming back. He gets a statue if he trades that contract without losing major futures.
There is no getting out from under that contract. So might as well play him a tonne and hope he figured it out again
