I wish they wouldn't have rushed out to re-up Huberdeau so fast after the trade. Seeing how he did for the year / leaving the option open to flip him at the deadline would have been fine. But there were fan/media optics of the wheels falling off for the Flames with everyone leaving that they had to nip in the bud I guess.
The Monahan deal was just bad and more knee-jerk reaction to try to silence the masses by moving some cap & bringing in a big fish free agent. Kadri hasn't been terrible but I think most would have been fine with Monahan still here since the moves, instead of Kadri (plus the extra cap space, and draft pick).
