I thought AAV a little high, but when you take time to think it's a great job by Brad Treliving.
a) Huberdeau signs in Calgary. He's Canadian. I really appreciate him for doing that!
b) Franchise and team direction makes a full rebound by these moves with some decent cap space coming up on the horizon. Who isn't going to want to play with this playmaker??
c) Johnny Gaudreau has to be having some concerns as regardless of where you fall on the fence, he tarnished his reputation here and left a lot of money on the table. All Bias aside; Huberdeau is a stunning player who is larger and gives us a much needed edge in the playoffs.
d) I agree with FAN960 that our window is more limited so securing that for now is great. That is why Huberdeau is a better fit for us now. While I will always say, it's been a true please to watch Johnny do some of the unreal things he did.
e) Tcachuk lands in a tax haven, with great weather but a significantly weakened team in many's opinion.
What an amazing time to be a fan!
