oh whale

 

Well that was unexpected

 

Devils would have had to include Nico to match that, and yeah thats something they shouldn't be doing. Oh well.

 

Holy shiiiiiit

 

Being a Flames fan was starting to get truly painful but this is a good, good trade.

 

Even if Hubie and Weegar are flipped at the deadline, that’s a hell of a haul for a guy who had a year left and publicly wanted out.

 

Holy fuck

 

If you sign both guys*

 

I’m sorry I didn’t see that Florida included a first rounder? I can’t be the only one that thinks Calgary won this trade handily right?

 

In 2025 yes.

I would agree Calgary wins the trade assuming they get both guys signed for sure

 

don’t have to hear Hubie Doobie Doo anymore

 

Wtf is Florida doing

 

That’s hockey lol

 

Really wanted Matthew and thought it was going to happen but holy shit I’m glad Army didn’t pay that cost. Probably couldn’t have matched that anyways.

 

The more I look at it, the more I hate it for both teams lol

 

its precarious for Calgary but if it’s clear one or both of them won’t re-sign they can get a haul at the deadline. A top line forward and a top pair d-man could get them a ton of high quality assets.

 

I just feel like they traded a 24 year old on an expiring contract for a 29 year old on an expiring contract. They're going to be in basically the same spot with Huberdeau as they just were with Tkachuk....but Huberdeau is much older. A deal at the deadline means they'll be getting less than his actual worth because the team taking him is risking him being a rental.

Weegar is fine but his deal is also expiring and if Calgary is able to keep him it'll probably be an overpay.

 

I mean, no matter which way you slice it, Calgary got a pretty great return on a deal they had almost no leverage in

 

I actually think that Calgary winning the trade is worse for them long run. No guarantee these guys stay. The big knock against huberdeau was that he had protected minutes in Florida. In Calgary he's gonna be the guy. They'll limp into playoffs and have an early exit.

With tkachuk Florida becomes more of a cup threat.

 

Mcdavid?? No thanks gimme ross Colton instead

 

Colton was 7th in the league in 5 on 5 goals per 60 last year, FYI

 

If cap circumvention offends you wait'll you get a load of tax evasion (it's not evasion I know and also most all star contracts do this)
