I think two things are true.
First, this deal is amazing.
Second, the Flames must get long-term, high-end assets out of Tkachuk well before the season begins. They could do this by extending Huberdeau and/or Weegar, or they could do this by trading Huberdeau and/or Weegar. But I think they need to do one of these two things well before the season begins. This will prevent a situation where the Flames do not trade Huberdeau and Weegar at the deadline because they’re a playoff team and risk losing Huberdeau and Weegar for nothing. It will also prevent the team from being disrupted once the season begins.
