Florida:

Robbery by the Flames

Thought this was another hoax

Cool that’s great and all but how does this affect the leafs?

Holy ****. Capital B Blockbuster.
This is fun. Is this what the NBA feels like all the time?

Seriously what the hell is the Atlantic divison? This arms race is just getting silly.

And with everything going on, will Huberdeau want to stay in Calgary? His contract is up soon. Weegar's contract is up too btw. I don't see why not but I didn't see why not with Tkachuk or Gaudreau either so.

Anyway time to be controversial: Huberdeau is a great playmaker, one of the best, but he is very one dimensional in his talents and as such gets overrated. Weegar is great so that helps to even it out but with the contracts I'd rather Tkachuk signed for 8 years at 9.5.

Literally who cares about a 1st in the year 3000. Time value is a thing people. That guy won't play until 2030.

I like this for Florida much more than for Calgary. They should have gone for a futures package and rebuilt (Lundell, etc from Florida). They weren't good enough before, just got worse and if they can't sign Huberdeau they are ****ed. And now they have missed on the top of the 2023 draft class too. Not that its a bad return, hell its a good return but I just don't think its the RIGHT return

Absolute fleece by Calgary wow!!

Holy ****ing ****

I don’t think anyone saw this coming, WOW

Calgary wins this trade only if they resign either Weegar or Huby.

I think this is a big W for Florida and their future. Huberdeau is 29 & Weegar is 28. Both are free agents next year. Florida swaps two aging guys that would need big contracts for one of the best top young wingers in the game. Didn't have to give up any top prospects and it's a lottery protected 1st.

Kind of puzzling for Calgary. No extensions in place for Huberdeau or Weegar. Both could walk next year. Didn't get any top prospects back.

This is still not the worst trade this off-season.

MASSIVE W FOR CGY

Florida really got rid of their cornerstone player. Sad to see Huberdeau go. Good luck with having no cap space again

Calgary wins this one by a long shot. You simply don't give up a player like Huberdeau...at all.

Wtf is Florida doing!?

Florida wut is u doing bby

Biggest trade in the cap era

Everyone says that this is a steal and rn it is. If Huberdeau walks this is a Calgary L.

Biggest trade of the cap era. I love this trade because Florida absolutely shot themselves in the foot. Imagine adding Matthew Tkachuk and still making your team worse

ONE OF THE BIGGEST BLOCK BUSTERS IN HISTORY

Now this is a Blockbuster

If Hubs and Weegar stay in CGY, it’s Grand Theft…Hockey?

Which, $36M in cap space next year, they can make it happen.

beautiful reply
