I'd be willing to bet if they don't have a contract signed by trade deadline, they're both gone and flames go retool mode.
Brad did this trade so that your team could go for it before the window fully closes and goes down the rebuild path
He would've taken another package that would've hauled in ton of picks and rebuild-like package with Tkachuk, instead of the current one trying to go for the cup.
If Flames are doing well with the addition of Huberdeau and Weegar, i can't see Brad trading them away. Only the contenders will be interested in their rental services, and most of them already gave up their future and picks. So Brad will be limited to trading with only the contenders that still have some future left in em. The teams that are out of playoff contentions won't give up too much since they can try to get them through UFA without giving anything up. Unless ofc, there's a team that really really loves Huberdeau or Weegar and feel it's worth paying up to get first dibs to sign an extension before they hit UFA.
But yeh, if Brad changes his mind and just says fuck it, i dont think he's gonna stop at just trading weegar/huberdeau, it'll be more players in ur roster like Marky imo.
