The risk of a decline for a franchise player is less than for a non-franchise player, in part because of their ability to drive play and in part because franchise players tend to be underpaid relative to their underlying value. As such, the risk around Drais contract is less than the risk around a 30 y/o non-franchise player.

Huby never drove play and as such wouldn't be categorized as a true franchise player. He's just a massively overpaid complementary player who is post apex.
