2024 was an incredible year for the Florida Panthers, who finally won their first Stanley Cup after years of being a top NHL team. While it was a moment of glory for those involved, some former players, like Jonathan Huberdeau and Mackenzie Weegar, played crucial roles in getting the team to that point before being traded.
Huberdeau and Weegar were traded to acquire Matthew Tkachuk. Huberdeau recently reacted to seeing his former team lift the Stanley Cup.
In his first interview since the Panthers' victory, Huberdeau praised his former teammates in Florida. However, it's clear he's frustrated, especially given his struggles since the trade. While the Panthers are set up for continued success, Huberdeau is now part of a rebuilding Flames team. Only time will tell if the 31-year-old will ever get his chance to lift the Stanley Cup.
