The #Flames have acquired Jonathan Huberdeau, MacKenzie Weegar, Cole Schwindt, and a conditional 2025 first-round pick from the Florida Panthers!



oh.. ok lol.

Calgary wins the trade
- mr.peanut

Pretty much hands down.

Even happier the Habs got Florida's 1st round pick next year.

and tkachuk signs an extension for 8 years/9.5M AAV.

Fair contract.

yeah, Tkachuk isn't a bad player, but damn.

Fair contract.

if you think he is going to be a 90 point player going forward. i have my doubts he gets there. 70-80 sure.

bah, 80pts, 90pts... I know there's technically a difference, but tomato/tomahto.

technically? mathematically is the difference. I think he is closer to a 70 point player. i was being generous.
gaudreau anf lindholm had career years. tkachuk isn't going to have that in florida even playing with barkov.

wow

if you put it that way, yeah I agree... I'm not sure what the panthers' logic was, as if Huberdeau wasn't worth all that much to them, wtf.

think it was hubie's disappearing act in the playoff this season for one. also, both weeger and huberdeau are UFAs after this season. could be another factor.

good point, especially for the UFA part.

weeger wasn't very good, either. also. tkachuk is 24 and signed for 8 years. huberdeau will be 30 when he signs his next contract and weeger will be 30 ,too. another factor i bet.

still... it almost has me thinking that Huberdeau didn't really want to stay in FLA, and no one knew about it. anyway it'll be interesting to see how this pans out for everyone.

we know tkachuk didn't want to stay in calgary. florida needs to move a couple of guys and don't have much left to add. they are 3M over the cap

isn't Duclair going to LITR?

isn't Duclair going to LITR?
- fidopro

he's expected to return mid-season, but I guess it could be a Kucherov-lite move lol

isn't Duclair going to LITR?
- fidopro

yes and they would still be 375K over and not be able to replace him on the roster leaving them at a 21 man roster.

if they dump hornqvist, they would be fine. not sure who is taking him without something added.

good deal for both teams. we don't see that big a trade very often

that remains to be seen, it could also easily become a lopsided deal in the very near future
