Teams like the Lightning that win Stanley Cups can afford to lose players to free agency for no return. Teams like the Flames really can't. They got nothing for Gaudreau and ideally would not do that again in successive seasons but if the team is good and Weegar is a big piece of that you just know that the Flames will roll the dice and let him walk. I understand it but if you aren't going very deep into the playoffs it's poor asset management.
