I’ve never seen such complicated conditions on a pick. I’m not even going to try to decipher it.
That is a lot of fine print.
I must be the only one here that thinks Calgary upgraded and then some. Oh well.
Short term they upgraded but they will make things more difficult for themselves down the road. Some cap management will he required.I must be the only one here that thinks Calgary upgraded and then some. Oh well.

Calgary has some good young prospect forwards coming up @Zegs2sendhelp mentioned.
If they pan out their window will last a little longer.
Also Huberdeau is from the same draft as Gaudreau, its only Kadri replacing Monahan that is noticeably getting older.
One part i like about their upgrade
Huberdeau isn't soft like Gaudreau.
Kadri is even meaner than Tkachuck.
They are gonna be pretty tough in the playoffs vs watching Johnny Hockey get bounced out.
The Flames Pro Scout 'Bob Murray' probably loves that the Flames signed Kadri.Short term they upgraded but they will make things more difficult for themselves down the road. Some cap management will he required.
They still have a solid roster of course and should be contenders at least next couple of years

Bob has always had a thing for tough as nails centers like Kesler whom he scouted for the Canucks in 2003 and later traded for.
It’s essentially Tkachuk and Gaudreau for Kadri, Huberdeau and Weegar.
I take the former two over the latter three any day of the week. Especially so when factoring in age and contract situation.
I’ll give Treliving credit, on paper the Flames are only going to be a slightly worse team than last year and it wasn’t his fault he got dealt an absolutely terrible hand with the Tkachuk/Gaudreau contract situations. But Calgary is going to be worse off medium to long term after this off-season.
I think Calgary arguably upgraded in the next 1-2 years. But they seem destined for a hard fall and major cap issues. If they win a cup, no one will care. If they don't, then its going to be really ugly on the back end of the Kadri and Huberdeau deals. REALLY ugly.I must be the only one here that thinks Calgary upgraded and then some. Oh well.

Kadri isn’t meaner than Tkachuk. Tkachuk blows Kadri out of the water at every aspect of hockey.
And Huberdeau may not be as soft as Gaudreau but he’s far worse in his own end and is also known for disappearing acts in the playoffs.
