The other part of this deal people were talking about was Matthew Tkachuk signed a 8 year deal with the Panthers, while both Johnathan Huberdeau and Mackenzie Weegar are unrestricted free agents next summer. According to hockey insider David Pagnotta that was part of Calgary Flames General Manager Brad Treliving's plan trading Huberdeau and Weegar possibly at the trade deadline for a huge return.

The Flames unfortunately are going to have to retool after the departure of Johnny Gaudreau and Matthew Tkachuk Treliving believes this was the best move to quickly restock the Flames going forward.

Recently, the Fourth Period's David Pagnotta reported that several rival teams in the NHL have already contacted the Flames about the possibility of moving Johnathan Huberdeau already.

"As I mentioned a few minutes ago on SiriusXMNHL , some teams have already inquired about Huberdeau, wondering if Flames will consider flipping him," said Pagnotta on Saturday all though none of the teams have been revealed.
