If the Flames saw this as an asset grab, and Florida either didn't grant permission to talk to the player's agents or you feared slowing down the deal that you wanted done, you don't hold up a deal you think you're going to win if you're happy with either result (players both sign, players don't sign but are flipped again)

I think the return you can get for Tkachuk is different if you talk to the player and agent before hand. We were able to get this return because both Huberdeau and Weegar are pending UFAs. One or both of them having long term contracts is much more valuable, so we wouldn't be able to get the return we got if that was the case. At this point we are playing with house money (for the next 9 months or so).
