I get Hubey had 115 points and he was not going to be cheap but what do you think we could have signed him for if we waited. What could have we signed him for if we tried signing him today. You always have different options and those that think Tre had to sign him are off. You always have other choices and ultimately this is the team Tre has built and it is just average and the team will be committed to a player for 8yrs at a pretty big overpayment who is not elite. This is not just me saying he is not elite it is Sutter and others. That's what we keep hearing is that the flames don't have any real high end talent that are game breakers.My point is if you are paying a guy 10.5 mil he should be elite and a game breaker because that money is the kind of dough elite players are making.The same with Coleman. You don't pay a third liner 4.95 mil just because of intangibles and having won a cup.If you are making that much you should be putting up 20 goals at least. He was also overvalued when he came here. I like Coleman and what he brings but not at that price.Great pk guy also but the money for this team has not been spent very wisely.Not a Tre fan. After all these years of playoff futility and the prospect pool is very shallow also.Maybe only players in WOLF and Coronato to have a chance at having a big impact in the future
