The trade between the Calgary Flames and Florida Panthers, that consisted of Calgary sending Matthew Tkachuk and a 4th round pick to Florida, and Florida sending back Jonathan Huberdeau, Mackenzie Weegar, Cole Schwindt and a 1st round pick back, was one of the biggest trades of the salary cap era.

Huberdeau was coming off a career 115-point year, and Calgary was rightfully expecting big things.

So far, his game has been hard to watch. He hasn't necessarily been bad, but his $84-million extension that he signed to kick in next season is causing worry.

Head coach Darryl Sutter is known as a guy who speaks his mind, and he did just that with Huberdeau.

I think Jonathan has to speed his game up, that's for sure.

Hopefully Huberdeau will rebound, and play like the Hart-candidate we all know he can be.
