I absolutely would unless it's the difference between you winning this year
Is Huberdeau worth a top 5 first pick in the 2016 NHL draft ?

Am i missing something here?
Huberdeau had 54 points last year, is on pace for roughly the same this year, and plays (mostly) with Sasha Barkov..who.is.a.stud.
Florida is a team on the rise, too. Huberdeau should be very close to becoming a legit threat.
Why would you move him for a top-five pick that will likely take 3,4,5 more years to do much of anything? If you knew it was going to be top-3, maybe. The top three this year look pretty good. Not sure about top-five.
The top three picks (Matthews, Laine, Puljujarvi) this year are very good - imo better eventually than what Huberdeau is right now. I also believe there is somewhat of a gap with these three and the next group of Tkachuk/Chychrun/Nylander ...
I guess the question is, can you wait until next year to see results or do you need to win right now?
If it was me (and I can wait as I won't win this year), I would go and get a top 3 pick...
I know you said top 5, so I guess what I'm saying is if you think it'll be top 3, do it. Top 5, it is worth considering.

yes... and there is the risk.
If it was me, I would trade only if I have a feeling that your trading partner won't finish on top...
As the other poster said, Huberdeau is playing with some good linemates right now, so trading him for say for a quality D in Chychurn imo is not worth it.
But if its for say Matthews/Laine/Puljujarvi... I would do it.
cheers,
Sorry I read it as top pick as in #1

I've always been a big supporter of Huberdeau, amd think that unless you are getting Matthews at #1, then I'd be keeping Hubs.
