I don't recall anyone saying Tre's contract with Chucky was a great deal for the Flames at the time of signing. I do recall a lot of handwringing here on how we basically walked him to UFA earlier.

And the Stars are arguably not even as well positioned as the Flames were when they made that deal with Tkachuk. Dallas is going to be a bubble team at best for the duration of Robertson's contract.
