Description

I know most people already agree with this, but just wanted to lay out the sheer value sent to the Flames. People will say "Oh but Weegar and Huberdeau are UFAs this year!". Doesn't matter; it's about value in vs. value out.

Imagine trading Huberdeau and Weegar before the season/at the deadline for futures. This is what I've done here in deals that I think are fair value-wise. These are NOT meant to be realistic trades in the sense that it makes sense for any of these teams. They're just supposed to represent fair value.

Now, look at the return for Huberdeau and Weegar. Would you trade all of that, PLUS a 1st, plus a prospect for Tkachuk? Imo, when it's laid out like this, it's hard to argue for Florida's asset management.

It's a gamble by Treliving, but that's why he gets paid more than us.

If he can extend both, it's a really good deal for the Flames

As long as Treliving sticks to his guns and makes the hard choice to trade Weegar and Huberdeau at the TDL instead of going for it, you are absolutely correct. This is WIN-WIN for the Flames. Whether they resign or not. Florida was never going to sell at the TDL after giving up their 2023, 2024 1sts.

Calgary had the flexibility to make this trade and Florida keeps chasing lost dreams

A top pair RHD for $3.25m absolutely nets a first and a prospect at the deadline. If anything Weegar is worth more than that. ****ing Ben Chiarot just got a 1st at last season's deadline.

Even if he can't resign either of them and needs to ship them out for futures, the value he'll get out of trading Huberdeau AND Weegar at the deadline AND a 2025 1st AND a prospect is definitely more than whatever futures he would've gotten for Tkachuk alone at the deadline.
