It makes sense for all parties to try and get deals done asap. Huberdeau and Weegar likely want long term security asap while the Flames want to secure the 2 key pieces they got in return for a player who they wanted to make one of their franchise cornerstones.
While both deals may age poorly this team is really trying to win in the Sutter window which could be 1-5 more years. Last night was likely a good step in the right direction. Next they need to bring the boys to Calgary and swing them out to Banff for a quick visit and wine and dine them here with contract offers coming shortly after.
I feel more confident these guys will sign compared to Johnny and Chucky
