These are just silly fantasies. Huberdeau’s obviously fit to play. His fancy stats were among the best on the team last game. Not getting points isn’t grounds to LTIR a player.

You missed one important part, the SPC’s. it was through the contract that Jack Eichel signed with Buffalo that the team was able to deny him the right to a specific surgery he wanted and had they not worked out a trade it would have been within the Sabres rights to LTIR him indefinitely.
The flames could try to make the argument that he isn’t mentally fit for playing in the NHL and attempt to LTIR Huberdeau that way.
