Pass from this Habs fan. Huberdeau contract will kill us when we are ready to contend. Huberdeau needs big power center like Barkov to succeed. Which we don't have

What about Dach?

Looks pretty good to me if Huberdeau can at least bounce back to point per game form under MSL. Habs have most of the core locked up on bargain contracts now and can afford to take a high risk high reward gamble like this one IMO.

Habs just don't need him and especially don't need to take the risk. There is a mountain of cap space coming off the books next summer and even more the summer after that.

Be patient and go with the young guys and they will go UFA hunting a bit next year and even more the year after that.

I also still think there is a few deals that will have to be made before the season starts so maybe that can help...

No rush.....

Gallagher can play bottom 6 / 4th line and then LTIR-retire. Anderson can either be an overpaid player on the roster for the entire duration of his contract, or MTL can retain 50% on him and dump him easily enough, or they can buy him out. Gallagher Anderson situation isn't ideal, but it's workable for Montreal. Huberdeau is a disaster contract.

Why? He only played with Barkov on the PP pretty much

Calgary would have to take Price contract too and retain at least 3M. That's how bad huberdeau contract is
Calgary would also have to send some 1st-round picks to Montreal. Huberdeau's contract runs four years longer than those of Brendan Gallagher and Josh Anderson. No one would ever suggest this trade if Huberdeau's name was Jonathan Smith and he came from Ontario.
