Im pretty sure Huberdeau at 35 will be a below replacement level player.

I bet they buy him out around then, just to get someone useful in and some cap relief. The 900k for 4 years after is negligible.
Or they cap dump him and pay the price in assets
We really dont have extra spaces. Previous poster showed it. There's only 6 top 6 spaces. Can't waste two of those to get a soft old middle 6 winger from 50-70 points.
It's throwing good money after bad.
Flames lost our house in a gamble. Let's not go to the loan sharks and try to win it back.
Take the loss and look forward.

They save 10% of his contract, and that little cap space. I doubt they buy him out.
They really have extra spaces, as the lineup is littered with guys that can come or go. Like it or not, Calgary is reloading, and that means if they can get a relatively cheap player who helps get Huberdeau going, they'll jump at it. Conroy has said as much.
