<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>kman0101</b></div><div>Consider something. You need to make the playoffs... and you have a 10M anchor in Huberdeau. Mitch will get Huberdeau to 75-80 pts/year just by walking into the room which helps the team. Plus his own 80-90 pts.

He's getting a lot of flak, but he is a GREAT player.</div></div>

Keep your "GREAT player" Calgary doesn't want him. Huberdeau needs players who go to the tough parts of the ice for him to pass the puck to not a soft perimeter passer. A big physical center to provide net front presence and a speedy winger who can stretch the defense are what worked with Huberdeau in Florida.

Calgary isn't likely to make the playoffs next year unless they somehow manage to pick up that physical net front presence top 6 center, a top 4 defenseman or two and maybe a top 6 sniper with speed. Getting all that this summer is very highly unlikely even without wasting valuable cap space on Marner.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Augustus</b></div><div>It's a moot point, Samsonov is a UFA-to-be anyway and doesn't need to be traded for. His presence in this deal doesn't mean a thing when it comes to evaluating it. It becomes Markstrom (50% retention), Andersson and a 2025 2nd for 7th OA 2024 and a 5th. Doesn't cut it.

If it was just Markstrom and Andersson leaving, no retention, it would be tempting to get another top 10 pick, Alberta boy Carter Yakemchuk may just be available at 7th, another right shot D to go along with Hunter B in the prospect pool. But I'd want something a little more than a 5th rounder in addition to that.</div></div>

Yup UFA Samsonov doesn't add or subtract any value.

Tempting but not enough, especially not with 50% retention on Markstrom for 2 years. With a little luck plus some poor scouting by teams picking before us 7th + 10th might be enough to get both Iginla and Yakemchuk.
