Wow, what a trade!
Anyone claiming we need to sign both incoming players to extensions really has negative blinders on. Extend Huberdeau and remove Weegar and you don’t think the trade is fair value for Tkachuk? It’s easily in line or better than rumoured returns, and that’s before adding even more asset value in Weegar.
You can bet this deal wouldn’t have been made if Huberdeau wasn’t interested in signing with the Flames and they weren’t at least in the same ballpark on contract details. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s extended within a few days. It’s pretty common for these deals.
