1. So Tre has found his Johnny Gaudreau replacement, where will he find his Matthew Tkachuk or other RW replacement?
2. Have the Flames actually improved from last season’s team?
3. After playing in a no state tax, how will Huberdeau react to $500,000 less take home pay
4. Will both players like snowy winters after living in Florida for so many years?
5. How much time does it take the new guys to gel with their new linemates?
6. How will they react to Darryl Sutter’s abrasive coaching style?
7. After years of CP lamenting about Tkachuk/Gaudreau’s playoff performances, the same applies for Huberdeau, how does he buck the trend?
8. Will Brad Treliving trade both Huberdeau and Weager if they both remain un-signed and we sit comfortably in a playoff position
9. With the Weager addition, what happens to Kylington? Is he traded? does he re-sign long term? short term? Does he still play with Tanev? Does Weager end up on the third pair?
10. How would the fanbase ultimately react if the team ends up suffering a quick playoff exit next season and lose both Weager and Huberdeau for nothing next summer?

11. The sidewalks get icy here in the winter. What if a player slips and injures themselves?
12. Does Huberdeau collapse under the pressure of having to replace Johnny? Having the same last three letters in their names will draw that much more scrutiny on the comparison. Does our new Johnny have the mental fortitude to make it through intact?
13. Is the team literally Colorado now? No, and that worries me. Even if we
were Colorado, Kadri might be gone and that keeps me up at night.
14. Has Treliving factored in the eventual heat death of the universe? It will be extremely hard to contend for the cup when the universe is unable to sustain processes that increase entropy. Management really needs to think long term here.
