Do we even know how Huberdeau or Weager have reacted? We’ve heard that Matthew is excited to go to Florida, but what about the 2 new guys we acquired?

I honestly don't see much downside in this transaction until the puck drops for next season and neither player is signed.
They got way more than I or almost anyone expected.
Until that point it's a great asset transaction that puts the franchise in a better spot than I was expecting when Gaudreau left and Tkachuk said he wanted out.
If they can't sign either player, and go into the season with two UFAs it's a strange move by ownership to win again and I'll be disappointed.
