Then it's tough to say the Flames made the wrong decision even with the benefit of hindsight.

Because really if they were going down the re-build route then taking the Florida package, but flipping Huberdeau probably still would have been the best re-build option too. Huberdeau would have held a lot more value than Necas at that point in time.
Yeah I don't disagree. And I think we sometimes forget how damn good Weegar is.

There isn't nearly as much detail out there re. the Canes supposed offer compared to the Blues one, which is known.

Just that it was Necas and more of a futures deal.

So perhaps there wasn't even a dman in there. We can assume Necas+1st. So then perhaps another pick on top (2nd?) or a prospect?

I'm surprised years later that's never fully leaked out.
