Thread: (CGY/FLA) - Tkachuk for Huberdeau, Weegar, Schwindt
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ship</b></div><div>hard disagree that at the time it was an easy calgary win. Tkachuk had a game that easily translated to other teams. And with both Weegar and Huberdeau expiring soon, the value of those players was not what it would be had they been locked up. Tkachuk extension being part of the deal helped tip this towards florida. I guess with Tkachuk not wanting to resign in CGY, you could say CGY did a good job to maximize their value in picking up two pieces who would resign as well as a first, but whoever gets the better player in the deal tends to win.</div></div>

Tkachuk not wanting to sign in Calgary and only for a few teams limited them. And getting a 100 point scorer, a top 4 dman and a 1st was amazing for the Flames. In terms of value you take that everyday of the week. At first many including myself thought Calgary came on top, but after the intial shock wore down I understood Florida perspective:

Hubby was older and due for a raise so was Weegs, that 1st was a few years away and is most likely going to be very late. They were most likely going to lose one of them anyway. Calgary mistake came from giving them those extensions and signing Kadri and dumping Monahan. In an alternate time line Calgary trades Hubby and Weegs for:
1st
Top prospect/good roster player with cap
Mid round pick/prospect/player with cap
