Who won the Huberdeau-matthew tkachuk trade?

[Icebreakers]

On the contrary, extending Huberdeau will probably lead in a horrible contract for a player in his 30s.

I mean it's Jonathan freaking Huberdeau. Have you seen his production in the last 4 years? His contract will age like Pat Kane or Steven Stamkos or Tavares.

 

[LOFIN]

Value wise, Calgary won the deal. That doesn't mean Florida did a bad deal here.

Or Jamie Benn or Tyler Seguin or Jakub Voracek.

 

[Jumptheshark]

til Hubs and Weeger sign in Calgary---Florida--

both key peices are UFA in 12 months--so we do not know who won yet

 

[Spearmint Rhino]

Did Tkachuk get a mouth guard that fits his gob in the new deal?

 

[Marioesque]

Impossible to evaluate right now. If they can extend both, cgy wins. But I doubt they keep either one.

 

[majormajor]

It's not obvious yet. Let's see if Calgary can sign Huberdeau.

For Florida, there has been some dissatisfaction with Huberdeau for a long time and since they weren't signing him, they moved him for a guy that is a more total package. They got their fit.

 

[RapidKnight]

In a vacuum it’s certainly Calgary but Tkachuk seems like a good fit for Florida.
However, when Huberdeau is on ice his team bleeds shots against which makes it seem his offense is the product (to some degree) of his linemates cheating.
This move makes Florida less dependent on rush offense which should help their playoff performance.

 

[kcunac]

It’s easy to say the Flames but as mentioned it matters how they manage the assets. In one year it could be Tkachuk signed long term for a late 1st. I think it’s pretty even. Guys like Tkachuk are impossible to aquire

 

[kerrabria]

I’ll say Calgary wins this for now, but totally depends on how they manage the assets

Trade Huberdeau for a 1st, a good prospect, and ssomething else at the deadline
Ttrade Weegar for a 1st

you won

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Huberdeau and Weegar don't have to re-sign in Calgary for them to win this deal still, they just have to flip them and not what they did last year with Gaudreau which is get caught up in being a contender at the deadline if your top UFA won't re-sign

 

[Da McBomb]

I'd take 9 years of 24 year old Tkachuk over one year of 29 yr old UFA Huberdeau every day of the week. And even if Huberdeau re-signs with Calgary for 8 more years... I'd still take the much younger Tkachuk over that.

Yeah, I mean, if you don't have all your players signed until they are 50, why even try to compete for the cup?

 

[Patrik Barkov]

Ttrade Weegar for a 1st

you won

While I agree that on paper Calgary got more here your scenario is essentially magic beans for a young top-10 winger locked for 9 years.

Now if they can sign Huby and/or Weegar it's a different story but I don't hate this for Florida at all.

 

[Paul4587]

If Calgary can extend Huberdeau for a reasonable contract I might change my mind but as of today Florida wins. They got the best player in the deal for 8 years who is only 24.

Way too early to call though.

 

[VIPettersson]

Calgary, just because of their situation alone. Tkachuk informed them he wasn't staying their hand was forced. After the Gaudreau gaffe they had to get something back. Despite this difficult situation they were able to get an Allstar in Huberdeau a 3-4 Dman in Weegar and a first. Yes, Florida gets an extended Tkachuk but that doesn't matter to Calgary. He was never going to sign that contract with the Flames. To get this kind of value when you really don't have all that much leverage is a win in my book.

 

[Kcb12345]

If Calgary trades Huberdeau as well for even more assets - then they win. Re-signing him could be a big pricey mistake

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

The only way Calgary didn't utterly fleece Florida here is if both Huberdeau and Weegar walk away for nothing next off season.

 

[Play]

I don't understand people saying it's a fleece, Huberdeau and Weegar are going to test the market. Not sure how 1 year of them vs 9 years of matthew tkachuk is better for Calgary than Florida?

Want to know OPs reasonings for allowing a option to change votes

 

[NyQuil]

I get why Florida did it but Tkachuk was in an immediate must-trade situation and you would think that Zito could have exerted more pressure.

We have seen star players in these situations return much less.

It's a massive fleece. Calgary wins in a landslide, and the poll results show that most everyone agrees. Nice to see Calgary fans get some GOOD news this summer for a change.

Huberdeau for Tkachuk alone would have been a slight win for Calgary(assuming he signs in Calgary......and they always do sign with their new teams). Add Weeger, the prospect and the 1st? LOL. Huge Flames win.

 

[Dion TheFluff]

wait and see. Depends if Calgary can get Huberdeau and Weeger signed or what kind of assets they receive for them if they're flipped at the deadline.

It’s not 9 years it’s only 8. Its not an extension on a current contract. He was unsigned so it’s just an 8 year deal.

 

[DoingItCoolKiwi]

On paper Flames won, but with Hub and Weegar turning UFA next season, I think it's a even trade

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Why do so many people in so many different threads keep thinking FLA has Tkachuk for 9 years?
