Revisiting the trade doesn't help. Especially calling it a bad trade. Because from what we've been led to believe is that the FLA deal was the best deal for CGY. And revisionist history aside, it was. What effed it up was the immediate contract offer to Huberdeau. THAT is what messed it up
Huberdeau at 8 or 7 million ? Palpable and movable.
Let him ride out his FA year and see where it went? Tree didn't leave Conny a choice.
The trade itself was pretty great. What followed was the disaster . Too much money, toouch pressure, too much square pegging into a round hole. That's the mess.
