I don't mind the deal for Florida and their situation isn't all due to this trade but
Tkachuk players 88% of his ES ice with Gaudreau and 81% with Gaudreau and Lindholm
Huderdeau played 24% of his ES ice with Barkov.
Huberdeau was a 115 point player with Bennet as his top linemate.
I will believe it when I see it that Tkachuk can get 115 with Bennett as his top linemate.
Huberdeau only played 77% of his PP ice with Barkov. Still a high percent but they often played 2 even units.
IMO in the same situation Tkachuk is a 70 point player
Florida could have resigned Huberdeau and they are now down a first in 3 straight years. Not sure they are better for awhile IMO
