Saturday marks the one-year anniversary of Matthew Tkachuk's blockbuster trade from the Flames to the Panthers. The deal was the first of its kind in the NHL. jkamckenzie spoke to everyone involved to learn what caused the summer-defining move.
and Hurricanes were also among the teams on Tkachuk’s list. The Panthers jumped into discussions within a day or two of the trade’s completion. As talented and as good as Jonathan Huberdeau and are as players, you know that they’re that good as people as well. They’ve represented this franchise so well and they’re class acts, and they’re wonderful people. It’s difficult. It’s a hard thing to do.
I was shocked and, obviously, disappointed. I gave a lot to this organization. I think the respect they gave me, I think I deserved a little bit more.I see Jonathan Huberdeau calling me. Right away, I calculate. Friday night. 8 p.m. L.A., 11 p.m. in Montreal. Hmm. Right away, Spidey senses are tingling.
I got off the phone with Treliving and called Jonathan back right away. I told him, “Yup, it’s true.” I just spoke to the GM in Calgary and here’s the deal. And Jonathan didn’t know what the deal was. So, I told him the deal. And he was like “Oh, is coming with me?”: I think Allan and Bill talked at the draft. said he was going to offer something, an extension. Obviously, he never did. But that’s business. I think they had it in their mind that they were going to trade me. That’s what I think.
When you think about it, his world had been kind of turned upside down. Let’s just have some time to visit and get to know, and get a feel for us and get a feel for him. We had never spent any time together. When you think about it, all of a sudden, you know, we’re talking about marrying here and we hadn’t really dated.That was something very important to Jonathan. Brad made it clear that they wanted Jonathan. Brad pursued it with Florida.
We had many, many conversations and emails and text messages going back and forth intensely for a five- or six-day period after he met with Jonathan in Montreal for dinner, and both sides felt comfortable pursuing a long-term deal. … and I had a conversation. I remember him saying, why not Calgary? Like, is there something out there that I need to chase at this point in my career? When I have a team that’s committed to winning now, that really wants me? Why not Calgary?We feel good about it.
