This is an absolutely terrible move and idea for CGY

Huberdeau > Laine
Vladar >/= Merzlikins and much cheaper

Flames have no need or want for Soft, Whiny, Entitled Players like Laine, not another Goalie when they’re trying to make space for Dustin Wolf

Yeah jackets easily decline. Not touching that huberdeau contract with a 10 foot pole. Not to mention laine is the better player when healthy

that 1st can't be traded like that. Its part of the conditional 1st sent to Montreal so until that is settled that 1st can't be traded.

I might listen if it's Calgary's 24 first, unprotected.

Huberdeau declines.

Merzlikins wants out of Columbus because he doesn't want to be a backup behind Tarasov. So he waives to Calgary to be a backup to Markstrom, I idon't think so.

No thanks. That huberdeau contract will get in the way of extensions for fantilli, marchenko, sillinger, Kent Johnson, jiricek, Voronkov, and chinakhov. Jackets need to extend some of their young core long term so they get good value on the back ends of the deal. I don’t want to be paying huberdeau 10.5 until he’s 38 when he’s not worth half that contract at age 30
