Hmmmm. Interesting thought. Does Huberdeau also serve to resurrect Sean?

If he can shoot the puck (he physically couldn't last year), Monahan is very useful when paired with a pure set up guy.

Imagine if he makes Monahan tradable and we can get a decent asset for a previously broken pending UFA.

Major accomplishment.

Why undersell the guy, he did that while scoring 115 points.

For all his greatness, I don’t think Johnny has Tkachuk trade value

He went to Columbus for god sake

[OptimalTates]

Worst part about this trade is that now I’m hoping they get rid of my favourite players in Lucic and Monahan again lol.

Find a place for them, sign Kadri, sign Klingberg, go all in!

[JurassicTunga12]

Even if Huberdeau and Weegar don't re-sign, the Flames can get an absolute haul by the deadline.

Especially if they retain 50%? Huberdeau at 3 mil? Teams will be lining up. Insane...

What a fun trade. Absolute jaw dropping surprise on this one.

Lose Johnny’s 115 points? No worries, here comes Huby.

Lindholm goes from getting set up by the best passer in the league…to getting setup by the OTHER best passer in the league.

This is just a *fun* trade. I really want these guys extended, and for Kadri to come in. That’d be a blast.

One thing you can’t say is that Treliving doesn’t have balls.

Lose best player to UFA, second best player won’t sign. No worries I’ll just go get two more elite players, and don’t mind that they are UFAs. We will figure that out later.

The cojones on that guy.

115 but who’s counting?

Kinda like MT

Can’t wait to read Brad Treliving’s autobiography down the road. The summer of 2022 was the worst of times and it was the best of times…

We were being led by a couple of mommas boys apparently.

Cap space is almost irrelevant at the deadline as you are only paying for 20 percent of the year. Retaining half the salary means you are retaining 600K in that scenario, most teams have that much wiggle room.

[Swayze11]

Yea but what’s the condition on the 4th round pick we are sending? Pretty critical

So he is another Brodie

like seriously, its a game and is supposed to be fun

Flames don't play today. When they do I cheer like there's no tomorrow. But today is off season, so I'll consider assets, cap and roster construction for today and the future.

You're free to assess as you wish, and so is everyone else. No need to desperately need mirror posts and get in a twist when others don't follow.

[Mathgod]

Been a while since I ran out of thanks.

It's a nice feeling.

[Jiggy_12]

This is such a shocking twist. This off-season feels like a WWE storyline.

First we have the Gaudreau heel-turn. Then his faction-mate decides to leave behind him.

Then when all hope for the fans seems lost, a complete 180 happens out of nowhere which nobody, not a single person predicted.

I’d laugh if I wasn’t so numb
