The Blues offer sucked and was pretty much crap.
The Carolina deal while not fully available was a future deal which sounds like Necas and a 1st.
The Florida offer obviously offered the best win now players and a 1st.
Everyone knew we needed to add another top 4 defenceman going into the offseason. We replaced the Gaudreau production with Huberdeau.
We didn't have any other team to trade with based on the list provided and Treliving said so that they eliminated them right away. So considering a player saying he won't sign and will only sign with these teams the two packages from Carolina and Florida are very good offers.
No one thought Huberdeau production would fall off to this extent.

No one thought it would fall of to this extent but almost everyone knew it would fall off and no one was really expecting him to be a consistent 100 point threat. All the talking heads were saying he was an 80 point guy. That makes that a bad contract to begin with.
There were also lots of rumblings out of Floride due to poor playoff performance and the rumors thay he was going put to clubs during playoffs or whatever.
Alot of people thought we needed a complete rebuild after losing our two franchise cornerstones.
And if that's true and those are the best offers it's because Tree had 0 leverage in a situation he created. Complete failure.
