Don’t think it was a rush as much as it was Calgary meeting his price. That’s what it looked like to me but I could be wrong.
I think some posters are underestimating the fact that Hughes did not want to retain any salary on Toffoli. Sure we took back T.Pitlick, to make the trade easier for the Flames. His salary is off the books at the end of the year.
I haven't looked but I don't believe there are a lot of teams who could take on Toffoli, without us taking back a longer term cap dump.
