Considering just Huberdeau and prospect/pick it’s good asset management by Florida. Trade for an equally good player with a maybe more unique skillset and gain 4-5 years of runway. Weegar I guess is to balance the UFA risk and apparently they’ve been looking at trading him for a few years for whatever reason.
