I think that if you get this deal on the table as Tre, you get the paperwork signed asap because Florida could change their mind and withdraw the offer.

The return was too good for someone who didn't want to be here anymore and the goal was just to get these assets finalized, then dealt with later.

One reason Florida overpaid (up for debate of course) was their UFA status and unknown plans and that may have been the leverage Tre needed to get Weeger thrown in as well. I would bet Florida first offered only Huberdeau + a 1st.
