Just need to convert on high picks in the next two drafts, and continue to find more value than expected with the other quality picks and they are off to the races.

How it comes together and how far this future new core goes is anyone's guess. But the signs of Calgary drafting well and building a good base has been a fairly universal opinion out of this market for some time.
Add managing the contracts of the players too. Good returns on the players will also be a big factor.

Huberdeau when the time comes, how do we get out of that deal.

All rumours point to selling, not all teams near the bottom or out of the playoffs are selling their players. The next 6 months can swing the outlook dramatically.
