We might think a team overpaid or got robbed, but time will tell, not initial reactions.

I think its pretty clear we "won" that trade, you can argue whether or not the Hubey signing makes sense for sure. We have a long term signed Weegar, probably a good leader on any team and a top 2 defender on most teams, a top 6 LW in Hubey and a late first round pick for a guy that was leaving and would have landed us a lot less on a 1 year 8-10 million contract at the deadline 8 months later. Saying who won on trade like that is very difficult, Tkachuk wasn't gonna be a flame for 8 more years, did the Panthers get the better player yes they did.
