Actually, part of the overall plan is to go away from the hub and spoke model that was pursued for the last 5 years, and revert back to more point to point flying which was very successful prior.
The comment in this announcement was that YYC would be the main global hub that is the only airport to have structured connection banks.
What that actually means is a good question, as it seems a little contradictory. Sounds like overall more point to point, but still a large hub in YYC.
Hub and spoke is the most efficient for the operation, but point to point is the most attractive as a traveller. So hopefully the schedule sees a good balance of those things.
