Massive part of a core that couldn't progress. It sucks that Treliving threw #### all over the walls as he was leaving, but this wouldn't help us.

Johnny was a home grown star who went a point per game in roughly 600 games as a Flame. Huberdeau has been poor for his entire 90+ games in Calgary. It is all about swapping those 2 players. I don’t see anyone advocating putting a package around Hanifin/Lindholm to bring Johnny home. It is getting rid of a player who has fallen so far from grace since coming to Calgary and replacing him with a once beloved player who is the same age and plays the same position.
I do think a Johnny-Huby swap makes the team better. Not a contender but better and more enjoyable to watch.
