Retaining $2M makes his contract look good, especially to a team that needs 28 goals in a cost controlled cap hit.

If you can convert Huby into a #1C, that's a great deal even with the added $2M retention (not really a problem if they get someone young).
It seems like very wishful thinking, but with the right combination of assets it might now be possible. We see bad contracts traded every year - GMs get an idea in their heads and can't be shaken from them.
Look at GMBT and his guys. He was like a bloodhound for some players both here and with the Leafs.
We just need to find that guy who thinks 'I'll fix Huby.'
