For example you might have been able to trade Tkachuk for Kyrou but there is zero chance you trade Huberdeau for Kyrou as a rental. So there is definitely some risk here if you don't sign Huberdeau. This is not doom and gloom its a realistically possibility that I hope is avoided by an extension this summer.

If Huberdeau signs a deal though that gives the team a few years to try and build around him which should hopefully be exciting as well. But if he doesn't sign this all could turn into a major disaster where we lose Gaudreau and Tkachuk for peanuts and all our trade pieces have less value. In that scenario yikes.

Should have traded Andersson that summer……
