Value of: The Huberdeau Dilemma

[MoneyManny]

So the Flames owner pays ~ 42 000 000$ out of pocket for a late first round pick?

Sounds a little steep lol.

 

[DJN21]

No way they retain that much for that long. Would that be a record? Buffalo retaining on Skinner wants that record!..

 

[DJJones]

Conroy would be fired and never considered for a job again if he took that

This can't be a serious thread. I'd rather be the kings trading for pld

 

[crazyfisherman]

The notion that you trade a 100 pt forward for a late first alone is outrageous, then u tack on 42mil of retention and thought it might be fair?

 

[Ledge And Dairy]

What dilemma? Calgary is under zero pressure to move him. If someone wants to offer us something similar to EK65 then we will certainly consider but right now he's a Flames and that's totally fine

 

[Figgy44]

A dilemma is an equally unfavorable choice.

Riding out a Huberdeau for 6 years who seems to have figured out how to get back to PPG vs retaining 42 mil for a 1st, 3rd and 2nd isn't close to being equally unfavorable.

Keep huberdeau AINEC.

A 7x5M 100 point scorer would be the most valuable player in NHL history. more than gretzky, lemieux, mcdavid etc. You can easily build a dynasty with that.

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

Much more realistic, in this case, would be Calgary trading Huberdeau for a lesser and lesser-paid player (Couturier, for example) and a significant asset

 

[wunderpanda]

keep him for the playoff run, trade him at the draft with no retention.

This would be the name of a movie if Christopher Nolan was Canadian.
