Stromgren (or whoever we need to put in that LW prospect spot) will likely get a chance in the NHL immediately to see if they can take the #2LW spot.
Also, the Stars get over $20M in cap space between the retention of $2M per year for 6 years of Huberdeau, $2.4M for 1 year of Andersson, and the cap dump of $3.25M for 2 years of Lyubushkin. Because of the amount of money the Flames are gifting the Stars, I do not think a better LW prospect is needed. Having a cost controlled Huberdeau would also give the Stars enough cap space to extend Andersson, Harley, Lundvkist, and Bourque (unless Bourque has a massive breakout year).
Flames get Robertson and Bischel (and have to figure out what to do with Lyubushkin for 2 years).
Depending on how you view the value of the $20M in cap space I think it balances pretty well.

Pretty bad for the Stars. They’d just sign Robertson instead of taking on Huberdeau’s contract.
