I think we all know Treliving was looking for more than futures as the Flames do not want to rebuild. Huberdeau at the very least would have had to go the other way for the Flames to accept a deal with them.

You're just giving me a recent history lesson.
I'm saying if your window of contention was opened by trading three 1sts already you're probably better off not moving out two upper roster players for one when they could have been your this season rentals.
But yeah instead of Weegar maybe a top prospect gets it done.
We don't know, but it makes little sense to move your team backwards in the window you've already kicked open in order to get younger at a time when this window will already be closed.
