This is one of the biggest bag drops ever.

Reminds me of Dennis Schroder on the Lakers declining a 4 year 80 million deal because he wanted 100 and went to free agency and signed for 1 year and 3 million with Boston. He will never see that money again.

Thankfully Lindholm was being greedy with us, could you imagine crippling the franchise with a another boat anchor putting up 45-60 points for the next 8 years.

Half as in... 6x6 is half of 8x9

That would be the neighborhood anyhow. Trochek would be a solid comparable.

Lots of teams will trade for him based on previous reputation or believe they can get him going again.

Not sure he's getting paid though.

Thought it was him at 9.3 and the Flames sticking to 8.5

I have a way to help with Huberdeau… give him a seat in the press box for a game and see how the team plays and responds.

My thoughts are they are better without him in lineup.

I have a different reason for favouring that idea.

In one of his recent interviews (linked from some post or other on CP, browser history too cluttered to find it just now), Huberdeau said something to the effect that the game he sees in his head no longer matches the game being played on the ice. His perceptions have got out of whack.

When Gaudreau was a rookie, you'll remember, he did very little his first few games. Then he was scratched and told to watch the game closely from the press box. That gave him the information he needed to contribute effectively on the ice. The same treatment could help Huberdeau get his read on the game back.

(And if it doesn't, let's face it, the team won't lose anything extra by scratching Huberdeau for a night.)

So, say he signs for 5x4 for only 20MM.

Career earnings to date (approx): $39,825,000 + $20,000,000

Total: $59.825MM

Take half for tax, net about $30MM

At about 3.33% rate of return. That would earn $1MM per year.

So well, it’s less, yes. A big loss? Yes. Generational wealth still? Yes.
