Yes there are risks with Pettersson and his contract and it seems the whole world is down on him but i think it's exactly the right time to buy low on him and it's more likely he rebounds to a high end #1C that he was showing himself to be for the vast majority of his career.
Given the state of the Flames roster and unlikelihood of having a top 5 pick anytime soon this seems like the best realistic swing on getting that necessary top line C (who is only 26) and if you can somehow unload Huberdeau in the deal it diminishes the contract risk significantly.

I think the ++ would have to be damn significant.
