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.
