Let's focus on building our new core and not waste valuable roster spots on trying to get a middle 6 winger going.

Huberdeau is basically buy out proof, as the large majority of his pay is in bonuses. So, buying him out saves little, and likely just extends cap into years where we might be competitive.
So, for the next 7 years, getting him more productive is a good thing.
At the end of the day, Calgary has lots of roster spots.
