It is a lot of years (8) past the upcoming one but the Flames have a star player that will be good for at least 5 of those 8 years. Would rather sign players like Huberdeau to these types of deals as he’s a proven star player.

That’s just what he was going to get from another team anyway, leaves the Flames in a good position as far as being competitive. I think we’re a better team already with Huberdeau.

Good signing and work by Treliving, can’t wait for the season now and to see how everything will play out now that Gaudreau and Tkachuk are gone and how the Flames will be this year.

I think the Flames will be better than Columbus and Florida.
