Johnathan Huberdeau Shows Frustration & May Want Out of Calgary Already
We are less than 24 hours after one of the biggest trades in NHL history. The move sent Matthew Tkachuk to the Florida Panthers in exchange of Johnathan Huberdeau, Mackenzie Weegar, prospect Cole Schwindt, and a first round draft pick.
We have heard from fans, and hockey analysts and insider but haven't heard much from the players until now. According to one hockey Insider David Dwork who covers the Calgary Flames he reports that newly acquired Johnathan Huberdeau isn't happy with how this trade played out
"As the dust settles from the Panthers-Flames blockbuster, I'm told Jonathan Huberdeau isn't particularly happy with how everything played out. There were some early, informal extension talks, but Huby's camp was waiting for an offer that never came. The next call was the trade."

It's believed that Huberdeau wasn't happy that he didn't get a contract extension offer and going from the team he's been with since being drafted 3rd overall in 2011.
Huberdeau did have to waive his no trade clause to make deal happen could he of expected more from the Flames? It looks like after it's all said and done Huberdeau will likely be traded at some point this season with teams already calling Flames about Huberdeau already.
