Just a month into 2022-23 NHL season, Florida Panthers early winners of this summer's blockbuster Matthew Tkachuk trade.
— handed the Flames the unconditional victory. After all, the Panthers gave up a king’s ransom for Tkachuk. Last season, Huberdeau outpaced Tkachuk in points and Weegar netted a career-high 44 points as a defenseman in his age 28 season. That was a lot to give up for Tkachuk, who bypassed his previous career high by 27 points last season with no real promise he would hit those same peaks on a new team without Gaudreau by his side.
As for the Flames, things haven’t worked out as well for their two newcomers in Huberdeau and Weegar. Huberdeau only just recently returned from an upper-body injury that sidelined him for three games. The forward also only has two goals and seven points in his first 12 games of the season. Weegar has been one of Calgary’s best defenders this season, but his offense has suffered with only four assists in 15 games.
If Tkachuk can continue to be the Panthers' most lethal offensive threat all season long, there should be no more doubters to Florida’s offseason plan.Speaking of Tkachuk, the Panthers forward was also in the news this past week for a wholly unrelated reason. Author and general internet celebrity Hank Green was indoctrinated into the hockey family after tweeting — then deleting — about his immense dislike for Tkachuk.
