Last two maybe.
And personally I look at differentials. How much of Huberdeau's contract is bad?
Last year arguably 40%.
This year I think closer to 25%.
He may be a problem in years 7 and 8 but at least that's easier to buy out or move near the end of the term.

The common narrative is that mang is overpaid at 5.8. I wouldn't say Huberdeau is really much more of an impactful player then Mang.
What does Huberdeau get on the open market if he was eligible? Other similarly productive wingers are making 4-6 million. Based in this and the mang comparison I feel like I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt by saying 6 million.
So yeah I'd say about 40% of his contract in both years has been bad money.
But i agree with the rest of the premise. If the flames are doing a fairly comprehensive re-whatever then it's not going to matter for the next 5 or so years anyways.
