Huberdeau was under contract and expecting further information on a possible extension. Now he’s in a new team in a new conference in a new country.
I’m okay with giving him some time to process everything, visit Calgary, get to know some of his teammates and coaches etc before looking at a long term extension.
That said, if he’s not interested in an extension now then I think you deal him before the season starts. The only thing that makes me nervous about waiting until the TDL is if he gets injured; right now the NTC is likely less of a factor as well if it comes to that. I’d be willing to be more patient with Weegar but if he’s not prepared to re-sign then I’d be taking calls on him as well.
