But once contract terms are put into play, I think it starts to shift toward Florida. Now obviously Treliving can still extend the others and tilt it back heavily in his favor, but as of right now, we’re renting Huberdeau and Weager for a year who could theoretically still fetch the Flames a nice return now or at the deadline. So there’s definite silver lining.

But yeah I’m with you, it still feels like the Flames subtracted 2 Huberdeau’s and only got one back. It’s hard to tell how the Flames will do this upcoming season as there’s still work for Brad to do, but yeah, I agree, finding a top line RW will could be difficult.

Wait and see. Tre working magic this week reminds me of this scene in Draft Day.
