If it were 1 for 1 I’d agree with you. From that one part of the trade you’re right. But the trade as a whole was a gross overpayment for what’s at best a lateral move. Add in how many assets they’ve given up between Tkachuk, and 20 games from Giroux and Chiarot and the Panthers future looks terrible. Plus that defense looks a lot weaker now.

I know weager is also a good player and he is going to be a UFA and will want a raise
If you add up what Florida gave up in previous trades for rentals yeah it doesn't look great but they at least were able to sign MT and he and Barkov will be scary
I think Calgary got the better end because they can extend either Huber and weager or just one and trade the other for more assets or both for even more assets
But don't think it was a bad deal for Florida
