Flames would easily do it because of contract lengths. I’m not sure Huberdeau would waive though, he’d get destroyed in Habs media.
I'm surprised Habs fans don't want Huberdeau over Gallagher and Anderson. He could jump start your rebuild
That's true. That's the downside. Tavares started that overpay trend on the LeafsHe would do to us what Tavares has done to the leafs, except Tavares at least still had solid production, even if he was superfluous.
Gallagher is still serviceable on the fourth line and we're not unloading Anderson to get an even worse contract. It's really not that hard to understand.I'm surprised Habs fans don't want Huberdeau over Gallagher and Anderson. He could jump start your rebuild
whats the difference if Price is on LTIR?Calgary would have to take Price contract too and retain at least 3M. That's how bad huberdeau contract is
He's not the first thing. He is the second thing. He's been fine in the room and accountable throughout.Huberdeau is a massive bitch and has the worse contract in the entire league.
It makes sense for us, but I agree with you. Just hold that bad cap and use it to get to the floor. We are at least 5 years away from a competitive window if we build properly anyway. At that time there's 2 years left and we can figure out what to do based on our needs at the time.Doesn't really make sense for either team.
Montreal's below the cap. Doesn't really have anything important to sign anytime soon, has bad money coming off the year and then only a couple more years with a couple bad contracts.
Calgary is the lowest cap team in the league. With really no one to sign to major pay increases coming anytime soon (Maybe Zary and Pospisil, but neither are like 7M+ guys). That Huberdeau contract is an anchor and there's not much to do with it. Calgary won't be competitive by the time they'll need that cap anyway by which time they can pay for someone to take 1-2 year of it.
But Caufield, Suzuki and Slaf are already signed long term so there's no risk of Huberdeau inflating other guys' salaries.That's true. That's the downside. Tavares started that overpay trend on the Leafs
Dach?But Caufield, Suzuki and Slaf are already signed long term so there's no risk of Huberdeau inflating other guys' salaries.
Huberdeau ain't bouncing back to ppg, he's washedWhat about Dach?
Caufield-Suzuki-Slafkovsky
Huberdeau-Dach-Demidov
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.
And nobody wants HuberdeauNobody wants montreals junk
