Huberdeau - 21 goals 19 assists- 40 points

I never thought I’d ever say this but I’m at the point where I’d rather have Huberdeau than Pettersson.

Peter has razor thin limbs

He makes up for it with giant joints

It's Brock's fault.

I think this probably what it is. The argument for it is quite strong

This being the case you have to let the player work through it. It's happened to many players over the years and they usually come round once the noise dies down. Just look at Huber dough

The skillset is there still. If you can help him through it the potential return is way beyond what you will get back by moving him with a pennies on the dollar return

Unless the guy somehow puts on some real strength and mass mid season, this season is a write off. He has legs like spaghetti noodles. His ankles start at his feet and continue to his waist. Hamstrings? He has ham threads. Those aren't calves, they're squirrels. He gets pushed off the puck way too easy.

So with his NMC kicking in do you gamble that he turns into Bo Jackson this summer or show up again with the lower body strength of a new born foal.

I gamble, wash my hands of it. Get what you can and start again.

I agree. They have a good chunk of cap space opening up as it stands now. If you can't get a quality package for him I'd take a first for him and see what they can do with 30 odd million of space. Or he has a few months to fix it
