As mentioned. Tkachuk is a phenomenal all around player - he’s better than huberdeau, he’s better than Weeger. But to get both and a 1st? Smart play

Tkachuk isn’t better than Huberdeau.
Huberdeau has been a PPG player for four straight years. The only thing Tkachuk has over Huberdeau is his age.
Watching his highlights, Huberdeau is better than Gaudreau. He’s the perfect size for a hockey player. He’s able to protect the puck better, his shot is better, he’s stronger, he’s more consistent.
His contract situation actually benefits the Flames - having a $10.5M deal start after Monahan and Lucic expire while getting this year @ $5.9M is a huge win.
