LGR4GM Posted July 23, 2022 Report Share Posted July 23, 2022 2 minutes ago, sabrefanday1 said: does anybody think this is good management... For Matthew Tkachuk, 20 games of Claude Giroux and Ben Chiarot, the Florida Panthers traded: - Jonathan Huberdeau - MacKenzie Weegar - Former Top 10 pick (Owen Tippett) - 1st round pick (23) - 1st round pick (24) - 1st round pick (25) - 3rd round pick (24) - 2 Prospects Not particularly. Tkachuk at least they signed so you could convince me Huberdeau, a 1st, and Weegar is an okay trade because 2 of them at ufas next year. But I guess when you're that close you gotta take your cup shot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know, the defense now looks pretty rough for the Preds. Marc Stone is in their top 4 as it stands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabres Fan in NS Posted July 23, 2022 Report Share Posted July 23, 2022 The Panthers will rue the day they traded Weegar. Probably in the ECF or SCF 2023. H for T is basically a wash, but to toss in your #2 top pairing D is not a good plan for success in the playoff.

I think Florida is bit weaker this season having lost a top 4 D. We will see what Huberdeau gets Calgary at the deadline and whether Weegar extends there. He has a chance for more minutes there by not being behind Ekblad. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digger Posted July 23, 2022 Report Share Posted July 23, 2022 Tkachuk - at least he wasn't traded to the Blues. I think Calgary did the best they could given the situation. I'm surprised that Huberdeau has already said he won't sign an extension but I'm sure it was quite a shock to him that he was traded and feeling that Florida was on the brink of breaking through. Will be interesting to see how this plays out now. I agree that Florida's defense looks like it could use some help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Buffalo Posted July 23, 2022 Report Share Posted July 23, 2022 Definitely a weird trade... I get Fla was trying to get tougher but JH wasnt the issue imo... guys like Sammy and a few other soft forwards are... plus losing Weiger who is tough on the back end makes them softer... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think part of it was that Huberdeau is 29 and has just one one year left. They maybe were hesitant to commit a big 6-8 year, $9-10M contract to a 30 year old. They were able to change him out for another star winger signed for similar money for ages 25-32 instead. That’s a big deal. They might feel like they increased their window for contention by 3-4 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It busts on TO. 2. The Laffs have had a much longer drought of getting to the second round than the Sabres have.

Likely a combination of him asking for too much initially, teams went with plan B's, now virtually no cap space left among true contenders. So Avs and everybody else might be looking to clear cap space, but his price probably also has to come down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
