The reason I hate this? While I'm not opposed to getting assets for pending UFAs and good players...we're still stuck and saddled with Huberdeau, Kadri, etc.
So we're in this weird 'in-between' place.

Great post, I feel the same way. Those contracts were signed to advance a 5-year competitive window, not worrying that the players might be old and useless entering a few years of rebuilding.
Instead we're starting a rebuild now, and they'll be useless right around the time we get competitive again.
It's a huge problem. The Dallas model is the one potential bright spot, as others have pointed out. But if those contracts could ever be moved, they should be. Kadri maybe. I don't see Huberdeau ever being moved.
