Alas, sometimes people have money burning a hole in their pockets and have to spend it on something. It's no coincidence that Huberdeau got exactly the same offer Gaudreau turned down.

Just like it's no coincidence that immediately after the Flames traded a 1st and two 2nds for Dougie Hamilton, the Oilers (who reportedly were in on the bidding for Hamilton) traded a 1st and a 2nd for, God help us, Griffin Reinhart.

It's sad to have to compare the Flames and Oilers that way, but it shows no one is immune to that kind of impulse buying.



The Flames might acquire his rights in a trade, but could they sign him?

That is the question....
