1. So Tre has found his Johnny Gaudreau replacement, where will he find his Matthew Tkachuk or other RW replacement? Free agency or within the system.

2. Have the Flames actually improved from last season’s team? It’s July. Wait and see?

3. After playing in a no state tax, how will Huberdeau react to $500,000 less take home pay Probably doesn’t like it.

4. Will both players like snowy winters after living in Florida for so many years? Maybe.

5. How much time does it take the new guys to gel with their new linemates? Training camp, probably.

6. How will they react to Darryl Sutter’s abrasive coaching style? Your bias is showing.

7. After years of CP lamenting about Tkachuk/Gaudreau’s playoff performances, the same applies for Huberdeau, how does he buck the trend? Playing well.

8. Will Brad Treliving trade both Huberdeau and Weager if they both remain un-signed and we sit comfortably in a playoff position Likely.

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? These are six different questions, wait and see.

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? See the last week.
Anything else?
