## Resource

Jonathan Huberdeau’s eight-year, $84 million contract with the Calgary Flames has turned into the NHL’s worst deal — and it’s not just the money. Once a 115-point scorer with Florida, he’s cratered in Calgary, dropping 47 points in his first season and barely improving the next. With a league-worst plus-minus and no injury excuses (he missed minimal games), Huberdeau’s production has plummeted. Now, with 52 million still owed over five years and a no-movement clause, the Flames are stuck. A hip surgery in February 2026 only added to the headache — and with just 139 points in three seasons since the deal, he’s a statistical outlier. For both player and team, this is a nightmare contract with no easy exit. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
