If Huberdeau and Weegar leave after 1 season, and the Flames don't win anything, I think a lot of people are going to look at the rumoured Carolina package in a better light. It would have been the safer deal...
Too much focus is set on whether BOTH Huberdeau and Weegar are signed long term or moved, which is weird to me. They are individual players who will make this decision independent of the other about staying in Calgary. Even if only one extends long term this deal is still a massive win for the Flames.
