Thebrewcrew Posted August 5, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2022 They gave him the Gaudreau offer 10.5x8 It's a lot. I'm of the mind though that it's easier to build around star players than it is to acquire star players. Make it work This is a big time move, well done BT. An extended Huberdeau, Weegar, Schwindt and a 1st is a win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sak22 Posted August 5, 2022 Report Share Posted August 5, 2022 Who would've thought the highest contract this team has ever given would go to someone who'd never even played a game for the team 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cross16 Posted August 5, 2022 Report Share Posted August 5, 2022 The flames needed to get this done and get this done soon. Treliving did the right thing by getting on it and not letting it linger. but that’s a bad contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thebrewcrew Posted August 5, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2022 You can argue it's 1yr too long given that he has 1yr remaining, you've now got him for 9yrs. That being said, it's the same deal the Flames had on the table for Gaudreau and I seem to remember a lot of fans being upset to see him go. There will be pain towards the end of the deal, no question. But the Flames weren't in the position to lose him for nothing and the nature of the Pacific division will make an in-season deal almost impossible. The Flames are going to be in the mix at worst. Also, to be honest, it's very likely BT isn't the GM when this deal hurts so I'm sure that makes it easier to give out that deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTech780 Posted August 5, 2022 Report Share Posted August 5, 2022 Needed to get him signed, the back end of this deal is probably going to be really rough, but you deal with that later. Huberdeau is one of the most productive players in the league. To get him under contract is big for the organization. At the end of the day it’s the same deal they were ready to give Gaudreau, just with an extra year on it (this coming season). Now let’s get the Weegar deal done.

In reality though you were selling Alberta winters on a guy coming from Florida. Not exactly easy and it was always going to be an "overpay".

Yes, absolutely. It was always going to be too much term and money. Would have been the same if Gaudreau signed. The hope is that you get 5-6 great years out of it. But for the Flames to extend a player like Huberdeau is a major feat for this organization Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's actually not bad.. last 2 years if we really want out that can be moved .. But with Walsh as an agent I totally expected a signing bonus heavy deal.. they pay less escrow so makes up a bit for the tax difference .. plus he gets security Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjgallow Posted August 5, 2022 Report Share Posted August 5, 2022 Huberdeau >> Gaudreau I did not think BT would pull this off, I am impressed. We are still short one star player but very happy to have Huberdeau here. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FueltheFlames1075 Posted August 5, 2022 Report Share Posted August 5, 2022 Time to put to bed the notion that Calgary was the issue with Tkachuk, Gaudreau and Fox. I never want to hear that garbage again, personally. Sure we may have to pay more due to taxes and climate, but I don’t think it had this huge effect.

Anyone who doesn't want to live in Calgary is an idiot. Unfortunately that includes our ownership so maybe part of the problem is there. We could stand to have a few more Canadian stars who are less dramatic. I'd rather cheer for then anyway. Huberdeau is a fantastic step Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTech780 Posted August 5, 2022 Report Share Posted August 5, 2022 I think people are going to be surprised by how much of an edge Huberdeau plays with. Is he Tkachuk, no, but he won’t back down either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
