Huberdeau, for all his struggles (mostly ion December and in the dying days of the season), works on D, supports the kids on the team a lot and seems to GAF. And players like Kuzmenko and Sharangovich seemed to get a boost playing with him.

This, 100%.
I know I'm in the minority here and probably naive too but I think Huby will turn it around and start producing more, obviously I don't expect another 100+pt season, but in the 70-90 range seems achievable.
Yes, I know that still doesn't justify a 10.5 cap hit but with improved numbers, a higher cap, and all of those other qualities mentioned above we can atleast work with that.
