Confirmed Signing with Link: [FLA] Huberdeau signs 6 year extension ($5.9M AAV)

[Rectify]

People think this is a bad deal? The kid is awesome, getting paid accurately.

Couldn't be more off.

 

[Maurice of Orange]

Why would he get a similiar deal to Schenn when he's better?

Huberdeau and Schenn had the same amount of points last season(59), only difference is that Huberdeau has more Goals than Assists and Schenn had more Assists than Goals...

The contract the Flyers have Schenn on looks like a steal compared to Huberdeau's deal.

I wouldn't call Huberdeau better then Schenn and I wouldn't call Schenn better then Huberdeau I believe they are in the same category of players.

I guess this is what Reider will ask for now

He'll get lower, but its a good place for his camp to start from

When did the Oilers last make the playoffs or win their division?

They're not comparable.

It's perhaps a slight exaggeration.

Yes, you have to think about the balance of UFA and RFA years but age and potential development also factors in.

It's possible that they will regret this down the line.

Barkovs contract is going to be one of the best in the near future, but that doesn't make this a joke, it's a fair deal.

Florida continues to follow the Edmonton model.

They've signed Barkov, Huberdeau, Trocheck, Bjugstad, Smith all for less than Oilers signed their 6M players years ago.
Florida just won the division with those guys.

Schenn has a 4 year contract starting now, Huberdeau has 1 more year left on his bridge and then he's signed for 6 years.
4 years at 5.125M vs 6y at 5.9M, Schenn also has just 1 +50 point season in the NHL, Huberdeau has posted 2 +50 seasons in a row.
You really need to look at more than just the cap hit.

Too rich for my blood.

He'll get 50% lower than huberdeau if the yotes are looking to offer a fait deal and not overpay. Over the past two years huberdeau has 103 pts in 155 games while rieder has 58 pts in 154 game. One is a legit 1st line forward, who has the potential to get 70 pts, while rieder is a 3rd line forward who may become a 2nd line player. Two different players and cases. Huberdeau is part of the Panthers core, Rieder is a replaceable piece within the yotes organization and won't be valued like huberdeau is with the panthers.

Whaaaaaaaa

You wouldn't pay 5.9 for proven 23y 1st liner?

Ha u say that like it's fact... maybe know what your talking about before throwing out statements as facts...he is an elite playmaker that will flirt with 70points next year.. if he does that this contract is a steal... if he stays around 60 which isn't likely then it's fair market value.. simple

 

[CanadienShark]

Panthers fans have to be on cloud nine. Their young core is basically all locked up long term.

 

[izzy]

Not a bad deal

No, not close. This post makes no sense.

Um, not anymore than any winger for a great center.

Good deal for Huberdeua, though, hope all these locked up kids continue to improve.

I say it like it's an opinion. My opinion.

 

[Hennessy]

It's not awful or wrong, but I don't trust the guy just yet. Then again, what are you going to do?

 

[Todd1a]

The panthers have pretty much locked up there whole core now nice move

Yup, the Panthers never make the playoffs and have unproductive youngsters, just like the Oilers.

Even if you think they are the same tier, you're overlooking RFA and UFA years. The gap between them is huge now. If you're paying 4M for RFA, you're paying 6M+ for an equivalent UFA year.

Schenn's contract has 2 UFA years bought out. Huberdeau's new contract has 4 bought out. They really can't be compared like you are.

 

[glenbuis]

exactly what was barkovs contract ?

 

[Soon2B25]

Considering the AAV of this contract, Gallagher's contract at $3.75 million is an absolute steal. Huberdeau is good, not $2 million better than Gallagher
Florida is the new Edmonton. How did their $6 million "Triplets" work out?

same exact thing as Huby

i think huby should be buying barkov dinner every day for the next six years.

 

[Man Bear Pig]

This Panther fan thinks that WAYYYYYYY too much. Holy overpayment.

4.5-5mil tops for this dude.

Maybe 5 years ago when the cap was lower (JVR comes to mind) you get a guy his age and with his production locked up for that much, but now? No chance. This contract will look like a steal in a few years.
