Which isn't trying to excuse away the Huberdeau contract. It's awful. Both because of term and dollars. But I appreciate the article also acknowledges no one saw such a dramatic drop in production. But it also isn't really impacting the Flames and any of their near-term objectives.
Whereas if the Oilers had more cap available perhaps they could actually address their goaltending.

The day he signed it, I figured if at least kept his production up he'd be tradeable, as stars at their production levels remain moveable...now the best I can hope for is he's a piece of our rebuild adding scoring on the 3rd line in a few years.
Woof.
As for impact, well he's 50% of the reason, probably more that we didn't rebuild 3yrs ago. Where I sit, the guy cost us 3-4yrs of being a fan of a winner...and counting. Massive impact on me personally.
