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.

Weegar, Huberdeau, and a 1st is still a win given the circumstances...the issues are what happened to Huberdeau and the first after. Its not like the Flames would be good if the deal was reversed tomorrow.
