I am sure you’re more intelligent than this so I’ll chalk it up to a bad night and take it up with you later if you’d like.

That’s not what the OEL trade was about at all. Vancouver took on the worst contract in that deal and then had to buy it out. Huberdeau is the OEL in that trade. So it’s the reverse of what you are arguing. Vancouver paid 3 picks to take on an anchor contract (because they somehow thought OEL and signing rights to Garland was worth it).
If you can find a team who will trade 3 expiring contracts and 3 picks for Huberdeau and the signing rights to Dube let me know.
