I hate to pile on Huberdeau but sooner or later, he is going to be blocking young wingers who need minutes on the top 2 lines and on the PP.
If retaining 50% means you could move him without giving up draft capital or taking on a long contract, I would do it.
$5.25 million of dead cap hit 7 years from now is better than $10.5. And I just don't see the guy ever really being a good fit on this team if/when they are a contender.
