I'm in the Atlantic time zone, went to check Twitter one last time before bed and Elliot was on my feed saying Tkachuk to Florida. I went from tired to wired in like 5 seconds.

As they should

Duclair-Barkov-Tkachuk
Verhaeghe-Lundell-Reinhart
Denisenko-Bennett-Balcers

I’M STILL LOSING MY MIND IN CASE ANYONE WAS WONDERING

Hardly an upgrade over Huberdeau. Guess money works out long term but Yeesh, fans should be ordering a drug test for him

Full trade, per sources:To #FlaPanthers:Matthew Tkachuk (extension in place)To #Flames:Jonathan Huberdeau, MacKenzie Weegar, Cole Schwindt and a 1st round pick.@DailyFaceoff

one guy who disappears in the playoffs for a couple more guys who disappear in playoffs

The Dcorps is insane. The depth is very good, goaltending is nice. This team is a 2C/1RW away

IF YOU LOST YOUR MIND, CUZ ILL HELP YOU FIND IT

not if 91-97-29 are still a line your not

Calgary has 3.4 mill to spend even if they give 5.5 Mill to Mangiapane and 2.6mill to Kylington and carry 21 guys

91-97-29 wont be a line lmao it’ll be something like 91-97-18 against 11(?)-28-88

4 mil is a lot! That’s an entire Erik Gudbranson!

Tkachuk is better than Huberdeau. Florida paid a premium to: 1. Save money 2. Get the better + younger player

Tbh Denisenko and Balcers aren’t that great, and I wonder how Bennett will do without Huberdeau. This is still a downgrade on last year’s forward group, and obviously losing Weegar is a huge hole in their defense. Tkachuk+Barkov might be a top 3 duo in the league though, and I’m pretty confident in Lundell’s ability to fill that 2C hole. Don’t forget that Duke is out half the year though btw, which makes their depth even weaker (probably Hornqvist at 3RW, slide Balcers up to 2LW and Verhaeghe goes to 1LW or something).

Exactly the same for me, except I'm in european time zone and it's f*cking 7 AM for me and I would've been sleeping long before if I wasn't following these world championships.

math was a bit off 3.4mill to be more specific so they could look at Heinen, Donato, Rodrigues for around 1.5-2mill or make a trade

You also forgot the worst - having Paul Maurice behind the bench

Wait isnt the 2023 pick they traded unprotected

Hughes might be getting another W soon

Weegar + healthy Tanev would legitimately be the best shutdown duo in the league and it’s not close. They could probably match up better than Zadorov and Gudbranson 💀💀 Not that that will still be a line, or you’ll just get caved in whenever anyone else is on the ice.

Wonder what a huberdeau extension looks like in CGY, are we thinking 9.5-10x6?

HELL YEAHHHHHH

Forsberg extension is the least 9.5 mill x 8 years most

If the cap raises it could be as high as 8 x 11. But he will be taking a full deal.

I was like 3 minutes from falling asleep when I got the notification

Might be a crazy time to ask, but what is the general opinion on what the Canes do with the remaining 4 mil left in cap space having Necas and Bear still left to sign? I can't exactly see us finding a way to keep both.
