I targeted Huberdeau in this scenario because the Panthers are at a crossroad offensively and might want to explore a new direction. If Montreal hadn’t move for Edmunston, it would have had the cap space to take on a « bad contract » to facilitate deal. Without this leverage, I concur that the Habs must overpay for Huberdeau, who would help solve Montreal’s PP woes and lack of high-end talent, while his contract terms would nevertheless give the Habs cap flexibility to build 3 offensive lines (and be a good way to put pressure on Gallagher and Danault’s agents for them to sign under 6M/year upon renewal!)
If Domi extended at least 3 years (@ max. 5M), Tatar with 50% retention for 1 year (60 pts winger @ 2,4M), MTL’s 2021 1st round pick (top-10 protected), Ryan Poehling and a young D not named Romanov or Norlinder (LD : Mete/Harris/Struble or RD : Fleury/Juulsen/Brooks) does not enough to spark interest from Florida - who can dump a few contracts to make it work if need be - then I would Move on to another target!
(I previously tried Comtois from Anaheim, Greenway (+2021 1st) from Minnesota and, I must admit, Mantha from Detroit (although nothing outrageous like some proposals out there!)
I guess Josh Anderson, either by trade or RFA offer (below 4M), will be my target in a next attempt!
