I don't understand some of the takes saying that Tkachuk is much better than Huberdeau and Weegar. The trade was of 1 year of Tkachuk with the Flames, what's that worth?

I mean hindsight 20/20 it looks like Florida hit a home run with the player. However at the time of the trade you were trading a year of a 105pt player for year of a 115pt player, and a #1/2 D, with an additional 1st and prospect. I also think it's easier to score a lot of points in Florida's system right now, meanwhile the Flames are trying to play a style that will give them playoffs success. I have no idea if that's going to be the case.

Also, in the first 25 games under Sutter Tkachuk had 3G, 12A, 15P +4. Huberdeau in comparison has 4G, 13A, 17P, +6 in 25 games.
