Sure but everything went right for FLA in the playoffs and they still didn't win the Cup. Clearly Huberdeau decided to change his game after all his success too, right?
For the record, the trade was good, what happened after was not (they should have flipped them and rebuilt, but that's over and done with) and most likely Tkachuk is the best player going forward and its not close. But it's also not guaranteed.
And whatever the reason, the best player in that deal this year is Weegar. That's not likely true going forward, which is why I specifically said this year.
