Huberdeau signing a contract like that is risky for him too.
He is now untradeable.
Congrats, you're now stuck on a rebuilding team with absolutely no hope of moving on to a more desired destination.
Sure, he's got lots of money. But money isn't everything, and he could have signed a less ludicrous deal, still had lots of money but also had options for moving on instead of being trapped.
Conroy talked about this, and how he wants to be careful about the extensions he offers players and not to enter into any contract that you are 100% stuck with the moment it's signed. Both the team, and the player.
